Imbi was a devoted wife as well as a loving and caring mother. To her, family was everything. She was a woman of strength and full of spirit. She loved to dance, cook, sew, and paint. Her favorite pastime was fine dining and there had better be coffee and cake! Imbi was an elegant and graceful woman with a great sense of humor. She will remain in our hearts forever.
