Not long after Ken and I moved into our home at the bottom of Stephen Lane, Immy stopped and rolled down her window and said "my car runs on water!" At the time gas prices were high and she could be seen going up and down the hill many, many times a day doing not only her errands but anyone else's that needed run. After that day, she would always wave and, time permitting, she would stop for a short visit. We have missed her smiles and visits as her health declined these past few years. We are so sorry she is gone from this life but we know she is still waving and smiling her beautiful smile from a better place. She will be missed.
