This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Imogin Grace Adams, 9, born on February 20, 2002 and passed away on November 14, 2011.
Imogin Grace, so full of love, so full of life was tragically taken from this world this past Monday, November 14. She will always be remembered for her loving nature. She was always looking to snuggle up on the couch or give loving words when needed. Imogin was so compassionate and caring towards everyone around her, especially her younger sisters. When both her sisters Kyla and Alannah were born she would be seen caressing their soft skin, holding them adoringly, or softly kissing their foreheads. She truly had a mothering heart. Imogin was also so full of life. She would always light up a room with her bright smile and gentle spirit. Her ability to laugh at anything, whether actually funny or not, made her such a ball of joy to be around. You couldn't help but smile and laugh when you were around her. Now all we have left is the memories of these things in our heart...we will forever remember her.
Imogin Grace Adams is survived by her father Kyle, stepmother Crystal, and sisters Kyla and Alannah. She also leaves behind her grandparents Jay and Linda Adams and Stan and Vicky Duggan, as well as many loving great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, classmates, and friends. She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed!
For those wishing to send condolences you can send them to: 13750 W. 76th Cir. Lenexa, KS 66216.
For those wishing to give gifts or meals, we simply ask that you choose to donate in monetary forms to Kyle, Crystal, Kyla, and Alannah to help with unexpected funeral costs and the hospital bills that Alannah will be accumulating. There are 4 ways to give: First, Kyla and Imogin's school has been so kind enough to create a fund at People's Bank at: 7579 West 151st Street Overland Park, KS 66223. You can mail in your donations to the bank at that address written out to the Adams Family Fund. Second, you can bring it directly to the bank. Third, you can bring your donation to Lakewood Elementary School Office. Fourth, you may also mail your donations directly to 13750 W. 76th Cir. Lenexa, KS 66216, with checks made out to Kyle or Crystal Adams. No amount of money replaces the pain and grief during this time, but it just will allow Kyle and Crystal the grace to minimize their attention on areas they don't need to focus on and maximize their attention where it needs to be, with Kyla and Alannah.
Thank you for everyone's support and love. Continue to pray for those dealing with these losses and for the Adams family as they attempt to move forward. Please write a note to Imogin or express your condolences below. I also encourage you in the midst of tragedy to write a funny story or memorable moment about Imogin under the stories icon at the top of the page. We will always remember you Imogin Grace, you were a blessing to this world.
The Visitation for Heidi and Imogin is set for Saturday morning at Cross Points Church (6824 Lackman Road Shawnee, KS 66217) from 10AM-12PM. The Funeral Service will proceed it from 12PM-1:30PM.

Oh sweet little Imogin Grace, where do I begin with my stories about you? I really wanted to speak at your funeral and share some happy, funny stories about you, but knew I wouldn't be able to keep it together enough to do so.
You were born in 2002 and before that we hadn't had a girl in the Adams' family since 1977. We were all excited to have a girl in the family after so many boys. You were born in Febuary and shared a birthday month with me. I was pretty excited about that! 4 months later, your cousin Rylie arrived, who is my daughter. Rylie is an only child so we had you over all of the time. We took you lots of places, including South Dakota to Uncle Nick's wedding. You and Rylie played in the back seat the entire time. I have fond memories of taking you swimming, hosting sleepovers, going to Deanna Rose, etc. I remember one time you were over at our house playing with rylie. I was listening to you two play and you guys were playing "house." You were the doctor and rylie was giving birth. It was a pretty long labor and quite painful and dramatic. You played the doctor well and calmed down your patient. You even encouraged her to nurse the baby after it was born. I was laughing so hard, around the corner watching you two. You loved taking care of people, so I wasn't surprised that you were playing this with Rylie. You always had a mothering nature about you with babies or younger children, especially your sisters. Mema has a glass doll at her house that she made and you loved to hold it. You were really the only grandchild that ever asked to. You would hold that doll and rock it for a long time before having to gently return it. You loved holding that glass doll!
You also loved animals. We used to have an alaskan malamute that was 5 times the size of you and rylie, were when you were little. Our dog was very gentle with all children. You were the only one that she ever nipped at. You were upset and crying because your feelings were hurt, more then anything. I asked you why she had nipped at you and you explained to me how you were just trying to feel her eyeballs! It had never occured to you not to poke your little fingers in the dog's eyes.
Another memory I have is going to mema and bepa's for many many holidays, birthdays or family functions. One time, when you and rylie were only 2 years old, we were all visiting downstairs and heard the bath water running upstairs. We couldn't figure out why the water was going. We went upstairs to check and you girls were stripped down to your diapers and had decided to take a bath. It was hilarious and we never did find out whose idea it was :)
You also loved to open a new soap wrapper in mema's bathroom everytime you came over. That was your "thing" that you would do. Well one time you shared this with rylie and you girls came up with the great idea to open the entire Sam's pack of soap bars and line them all up on mema's bathtub. Mema thought it was funny and said she will be clean for a long time!
As you got older, you and rylie started to really like music. You would always sing in the backseat of the car together. You loved High School musical, Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift and all the songs to the movie Hair Spray. One day you devised a plan to start a band together. The plan was to have "band practice" at your house every Monday after school. The only problem was that you BOTH insisted on being the lead singer!
In September of this year, we all went to the Taylor Swift concert together at Arrowhead Stadium. It was Kyla and your first concert and you guys had so much fun. I am so glad that I got to share that memory with you, Kyla and your mom. It had been a while since we had seen all of you and it was a fun night.
The last time I saw you was on Halloween, just 2 weeks before you passed away. All 10 of the Adams' grandchildren have a tradition of going trick-or-treating together at mema and bepa's house. You and Rylie were so excited to get started that night but I insisted on taking pictures before you went out. I'm so glad I did because I have wonderful memories of that night.
Life will never be the same without you and we miss you like crazy! I can still hear your voice saying, "Aunt Corrie, when can we have another sleepover at your house?" I love you and miss you silly Imogin! My only comfort is knowing that I will see you again in heaven.
