Heaven Rejoices!

Imogene Stout "went on to glory," as she was so fond of saying, about 5 p.m. Saturday, April 4, 2009. I'd teased her before that she couldn't go, because my calendar was full ... I didn't want such a joyful, laughing spirit to leave us. But she had to keep this appointment, and Imogene, I will "clear" my calendar for you. The Bible says "the kingdom of heaven is like a party," so I know you'll fit right in, and you'll be right beside the Lord preparing a place for us. Our sadness is heaven's joy, but we're coming! We're coming! See you soon!
