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.

In lieu of flowers , please send donations to St. Jude research center. My mother was an incredible woman, who cared about her family and others. I will miss her. 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.
