Very sorry to hear of Ingrid’s passing. I met Ingrid when she was a judge for my 5th grade science fair project years ago at St. Francis school. She had the most positive and encouraging things to say about me on my final Jude reports; words that have stuck in my memory as I’ve grown up. As years went by, I would see Ingrid at church events and she would always make it a point to speak to me, ask me how I was doing. She was one of the kindest ladies that I have ever met. My condolences to Mr. Hirschy and the rest of Ingrid’s family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Ingrid many years ago when she lived on Woodbine Street. I always walked by her house walking my dog. She owned a dog then and we would talk about our pets and the crazy things they did. She loved animals as much as I so we had lots to talk about. She was a very nice lady. I know she will be missed by her family and friends.

Heaven has gained another angel. My sympathy to the entire family. I had the pleasure of working with Ingrid at Hillside. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out. She will surely be missed.

My heart aches for you, Dave. I hope, with time, you will find peace knowing that Johnnie is now free from her body and enjoying the promise of heaven.
No words I have to say can fill this void. I hope it helps to know that you are in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Sue Daugherty
