Dear Karen, Gary, and Dan,

I remember you mom very fondly. I spent many days at your house as a child, and she always made me feel welcome. I remember how she loved the cats, and boy could she cook. Imogene had a positive outlook on life and even though it has been many years since I have seen her I was very sad to hear of her passing. I hope heaven has some cats in it because when Imogene gets there she will be looking for them. My sincere sympathy on your loss and may God's healing touch be with all of you andyour families at this time.
