Brenda, Pam, Sandy, and Danny- just read of your mother’s passing. Praying for you all as you cherish your precious memories of her. Imogene was a kind sweet humble lady who was a good momma to you kids, raising you in sunday school and church at First General Baptist. It was a blessing for us to worship with you there. Sweet memories! God bless you all.
