I am very sad to hear about Imogen and want to send deepest sympathy to her family. I had many years at school with her and it was good to renew the friendship at our class reunions in Masterton and Picton. Many of us have been in contact since hearing about Imogen and we are all very sad and will always remember her.

We were so sorry to learn of Imogen's passing. We have lost a lovely lady who has left us with many happy memories: of family holidays, in Rarotonga and Waikanae, and treks up Mt Arthur. Every one a learning experience and inspiration to us as a family. Sincere sympathy to Stephen, Alex and Christopher and their families. From the Markland family - Roy, Barbara, Glen and Paul.

So sorry to hear about Imogens passing. I remember her with heaps of love from home. She was the best teacher I ever had, always encouraging, believed in me and had the best sense of humor ever! Her science classes she taught were always the talk of the school. Loved her heaps. I will fondly remember her

Wonderful Imogen...our family has memories of such fun together.. On a tramp up Mt Arthur, Imo, 5 months pregnant with Christopher, was addressed by our 6 year old Daniel as ''Hey, Energy !''
We can never forget her wise, funny brilliant loveable self.
All our love to Stephen, Alex and Crinto from the Beltons

A wonderful person gone too soon. How we loved taking our classes to work with her at the museum and enjoy her wit, humour and knowledge. Imo has had a huge impact on many young lives. She will be sorely missed.

Deepest sympathies to you all. We have great memories of past Dovedale Softball games with Imogen always keeping us entertained with her classic sliding into home plate antics. Even the opposition were impressed. She will be sadly missed. Even though a long time has gone by since we saw her last she is always remembered.
