SHARING WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS

My memories of Emma are...
 
As a wonderful Wife and Mother
As a helpful shopkeeper in the unique store named after her beloved Ted
As a doer of good deeds, like the time she helped my daughter Rochelle with her school project by inviting us over for the afternoon.  She introduced s to Judy Allebes (Ted's mother) for a delightful lesson on Dutch traditions.
As the Bishop's wife
As a designer and artist
As a businesswoman who turned the pharmacy annex into a Fair Oaks landmark
As a warm smiling face whenever we would meet
As a teacher
As a trusting servant of our Heavenly Father
 
To share this time with others who have told their personal stories of Emma is truly a blessing
It seems most fitting that Emma's life has been one of fine fabrics.  Each of us she touched along the way is like a thread woven together in a tapestry of her beautiful design.

What is Your Emma Story?

This blog is a chance to remember and honor Emma by bringing us together in a way that can only be done through a medium like the internet. We love her, we will miss her, but she's here for a short time still, and we want to smile and cry and laugh together with her as much as possible while we can.

Emma has touched a monumental number of lives through her work as a mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, artist, and to Ted as a dear wife. There are countless stories that have already been told many times, and there are many others that we're going to learn for the first time as we read them here.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, STORIES AND PICTURES!!!

Not only will we be able to laugh and smile together, even after Emma has passed, but we will be sharing this blog with Emma. If you have a story, long or short, silly or sad, pensive or outrageous, please take some time and share it with us and Emma.

This is such a dear time for all of us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

It's easy! To post to Emma's blog, send an email to emmaallebes.post@blogger.com. If you have a picture(s) that you would like to add, make it an attachment to the email. Your email will post automatically.

Please remember to include your name somewhere in the email/post.
