    Imogene, one of my favorite childhood memories about Christmas was going to see Joe and Imogene and you both always standing on the carport stairs waiting for us. Thinking of you, Imogene.

    Imogene, so sorry to hear about Joe. Don’t know if you knew I lost my youngest daughter , Susan, in June 2019 to cancer. Hard loss to handle. Her girls are now 20 & 16. The oldest one going to MTSU.
