Sending my condolence to the family. I worked for Ima June cleaning her home for about 5 yrs. She was the kindest most thoughtful person that I think I have ever met. She had joy and goals making her knitted lap blankets that she would donate to different elderly facilities. When I would come over she'd be so excited to tell me she finished another one. I will truly miss her happy godly spirit that she always had in my presence.
