Not sure what to say?

Having known Ina my entire life, I can honestly say she was an amazing and caring person. I loved receiving cards from her with her great photography and visiting with the breakfast group just won't be the same without her.

This is such sad news. She led an exemplary life teaching, giving and caring about others, and supporting causes. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
