Dear George and family,

It was a sad day to hear of the passing of Ingrid. I still cannot believe it. She was a very special person ~ loving, caring, and dear friend. Her devotion to her mother and to Winona is something I admired in her. I will miss our visits, our telephone chats, and her wonderful laugh. When I look back on the 20+ years of memories, I smile. Take comfort in your memories, as I do in those of Wayne. I will miss her terribly.

George: Please accept my condolences on your loss. I will remember Ingrid fondly. Her loving devotion to her mother over such distance and over so many years was just symbolic of the kind and caring person she chose to be. I hope your loving memories of her will always be of comfort to you.

Ingrid was a loving, caring and giving person. She was a true friend. Words can not express how much she will be missed. Her spirit will live on in everyone she has touched. I will forever cherish the memories of our many, many years of friendship. Ingrid was an angel on earth.

My memories of Ingrid go back to when we were little girls playing Barbies and having sleepovers, then as we grew up there was high school and our sorority, Lamba. We went our separate ways as we found our way in life, but whenever I think back on my childhood, Ingrid will always be there, smiling and giggling over silly things as girls do. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Ingrid was a beautiful,compassionate person & will be missed, I 'm lucky to have known & worked with her , we both loved jewelry & one year I was given the most beautiful garnets from Alaska which will be cherished forever. We both also loved Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks) so on March 6th I know she will be right there with me as we were to both go to that concert together.
