Linda, Larry and Steve I hate to hear the news just seen it Friday around 2:44 p.m. I can remember coming to the house with mom and dad to visit Uncle George and Aunt Imogene. It's hard to loose a loved one but know that God is in control and He will see you all through. Love and God Bless. Debbie (Foraker) Butcher
