Imogene Riley and my sister, Norma Jean Register, were best friends growing up. Although I was quite a few years younger, I remember my sister talking about and hanging out with Imogene. We all lived on Glenn Av at that time. On Saturdays we shopped at the Parkway Market, which was across the road from both Imogene's and Marcel's homes. Extending sympathies and prayers to Imogene's family.
