As I read the obit I could hear the language and her great accent coming thru Loudly! If u met her on the Tennis court , by the Swimming pool, or in the Grocery store you will remember her. She had such a unique personality and I loved to just listen to her talk and watch her expressions. She could always make u laugh and Smile. She certainly had a passion on the tennis court, as long as I have known her ,she has been playing w Bocage. And I had the pleasure of coaching her granddaughter ,Ariana in her 1st years of swimming! Loved watching her cheer her on!Arrianna always had 2 races the 1 in the pool and the one trying to beat Grandma to the end of the pool. As I see and hear those fireworks tonight I will know Inge is there adding spice to the Sky in heaven tonight! Jacqui, I love you and thinking about you and praying for u! Well if it rains il make the memorial in my dress clothes if not il come straight from tennis, I don't guess she mind if I'm in tennis clothes? Ha lol! Il come give u a hug and I'm sure Amy will greet her w a warm hug upstairs.In the later days if u want company out at Resthaven let me know my family rest there too.

Her love of tennis allowed her to be active right up the end. Her love of her family allowed my daughter Arianna and I to flourish. She was a great mom, wife, Oma and friend. Be with God mom.
