Karry: Thank ;you so very much for the kind words about my Mother, your Aunt Sis. She was a very special Mother and lady. I was so blessed to have her as my Mother. She was such a kind, loving and hardworking person. She loved Jesus, and it was through her guidance that I came to know him as my personal Savior. I thank the Lord for this. I’ll miss her so much, but I’m looking Mom to being with you again in eternity. Love, Linda M.
So many memories of Mammaw–where to start? I remember getting ready to go somewhere, as a child. She would tell me how important it was to look our very best. We’d do our hair & brush our teeth. Make sure our clothes looked nice (& wrinkle free.) She could disappear into a closet full of clothes,& return with the perfect piece of clothing! We never left Mammaw’s house hungry! She always made the very best green beans, with little potatoes in them! I have never had those any other place… Mammaw talked to me about Jesus. Prayed with me. And always reminded me that she prayed for my entire family-every single day. That was a source of comfort for me. Mammaw knew how to LOVE. She will be missed. Save my spot for me, Mammaw. Can’t wait to see you for all of eternity! Party on up there!! See you at the Resurrection!
My Aunt Sis was one of the most thoughtful, kind, generous, and loving people you could ever meet. She always had a kind word for us and was always looking for the good in others. I can’t remember her even getting angry at us as kids and we certainly deserved it! I always looked forward to a visit from Aunt Sis and the family and I miss those times from my childhood. I will miss her and will love her forever.
I am so sorry to learn of Mrs. Inmon’s passing. She was my neighbor for several years and I enjoyed our chats, her yard sales, and watching her tend to her flowers. My sincere sympathies. Jo Ann Neal Owen
Interestingly enough, early in this week just past Mrs. Inmon came to mind during my morning prayer. I was able to remember her faithfulness as a Sunday School teacher, and how she was instrumental in leading me to trust Jesus as my Savior. I prayed in gratitude for her and for her willingness to teach my class. This month marks my 39th year in ministry.
To The Inmom Family, So sorry for the loss of your Mom. Geraldine was a very sweet lady and great friend. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. God Bless!
