I was so blessed to meet Inge this past year and to spend many hours with her. We enjoyed each other’s company, shared our faith and prayed for each other and our families. Thank you Lewis family, for the opportunity to get to know her. I will miss her, but I know that we will meet again!
Inge was a beautiful person. We remember her laughter and smile. Our thoughts are with Ingrid and Lisa and families. God be with you and give you peace.
Our deepest condolences on your Moms passing. She was a wonderful lady.
