Not sure what to say?

This is three years late, but I hope better late than never. Inka was an inspiring and wonderful person. Lively, imaginative and above all generous. And a brilliant and original designer and architect. It is a privilege to have known her.

My condolences to Inka's friends and to those who she has inspired. Inka sounded like a wonderful person who did all she could to live her life to the fullest, and one who was truly a fine example to not only her community, but to those who were able to meet her. It's always tough to lose someone you love and look up to, but there is definitely a hope that one day we will see our loved ones again, so that we can be able to welcome our loved ones again with open arms.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Inka, but grateful for her service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Iran.

Our Condolences,
The National Peace Corps Association

INKA WAS IN SEVERAL WRITING CLASSES I ALSO ATTENDED @ COLLEGE OF MARIN.
HER AGE NEVER SEEMED TO TIRE HER AS I ALSO WOULD SEE HER AT THE MONTHLY SAN RAFAEL ART LECTURES. THERE, SHE USED HER ENERGY TO COLLECT MONEY FOR THOSE LECTURES.
NEVER STILL & ALWAYS LIVING. & MOVING AHEAD.
WITH ADMIRATION FOR INKA, SALLY VEAUTA

Inka and Hale were longtime neighbors of ours on Bret Harte Road. Inka designed our house. She has always been an inspiration to my sisters and me. She was amazing.

Inka was one of the most interesting people I have had the joy of knowing in my life time. She was always positive and any younger woman could learn a lot from her. She delivered food collection barrels for the Food Bank for at least 20 years. Never complaining that the barrels were larger than she was! We need more young women with her courage and determination. We could change the world! Rest in peace dear Inka. Anne Rogers
