I suppose some might think it disrespectful to write about my many fond memories of this wonderful woman. Although Inez would publicly scold me for repeating the stories, she would secretly smile. The peanut butter jar, "Inez, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on...," "Inez, what do you do to keep in shape?" She was a great woman who was always full of life and love. She greatly enriched my life and I am grateful to have known her.

Hyrle & Family,
While I haven't seen you or Inez for years, I was sad to learn about her passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To all the Ivys, My heart is heavy with grief over your loss. I cannot begin to imagine how you must feel without her! It is really tough knowing I can never sit in the living room and have coffee with Inez again. She was such a wonderful person, putting it into words is nearly impossible. I am very sad but will choose to remember all the fun the Ivys and the Chaneys had growing up together. Hyrle, you and Inez have been there through all the important events in my life and in that of Nick's as well. We will miss her sense of humour but will surely cherish all the good times and loving memories we have. Keeping you in my prayers.

Hyrle, Dave, Dan & Ivy Family,

My heart is heavy today. Inez touched my life with her sharp wit, her sharp tongue and her subtle compassion and I am grateful I had the chance to know her. My family and I are deeply sorry for your loss.
