Ingrid Laima Lantner-Koss

Dr. Lantner-Koss was my pediatrician when I was a child growing up in Ohio. Once, she admitted me to the hospital for a G.I. illness. When she came making her rounds that day, she asked me if there was anything I wanted. I asked her to buy me a Sprite.

Dr. Lantner was my pediatrician and probably saved my life as I was diagnosed with a rare disease (Kawasaki) in the 1970´s. She admitted me to Mt. Sinai where I was for several weeks.

What a beautiful ray of light in this world. Deepest sympathy to the family.
