Lillie and Jack, we share in your grief over the loss of your mother. Imogene was a lovely person and Curtis and I looked up to her as one of the great pioneers of Walton PHC. We all know that Imogene is now at home with her Father and rejoicing around His throne. You can rest assure knowing that she's no longer in any pain and is walking without any assistance, just as my mom is doing. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you all. We love you guys. God bless!
