Ingrid (and Fritz) have been one of the few couples we know at church.
Although our chats were brief and sporadic, she would always greet us with friendliness and warmth. She will be greatly missed.

For me the Vineyard will never be the same without our dear neighbor and friend of so many years. I see her arriving for cocktails holding a jam jar with some of her lovely flowers from her garden, a smiling Fritz behind her, sitting on our deck with cocktails, the wide spread of sea before us. And sometimes it was her deck, the same blue expanse. Her meals were delicious and effortlessly served. More than anything I will miss her presence, her kindness and caring about others, her intelligence and honesty. Wherever you are, Ingrid, you are bringing joy and laughter.

Ingrid will be missed by us all! She will always be a presence on Philbin beach and on our deck. Her laugh was infectious and it is hard to believe she is not having an adventure somewhere better.

Ingrid was a neighbor, a caring family friend and one of my favorite people. Over the years, we had many wonderful conversations and I enjoyed her great sense of humor. It seems like our home always got a little brighter and warmer when Fritz and Ingrid arrived. I will miss her deeply.

Ingrid was my neighbor in Glen Rock and my very good friend. She was my confidant at tough moments of my life, and her wisdom always helped me to overcome my troubles. She loved her Spanish classes and I greatly enjoyed speaking with her and laughing together at her mistakes. Ingrid was a woman of many talents and interests which I so admired. She knitted me a scarf, a beautiful colorful, perfect gift she gave me as a surprise. We enjoyed sharing recipes that we exchanged once in a while. I was so sad when the Reuters moved to Manhattan, but so glad for Ingrid. The suburbs became too boring for her; she wanted to be where the action was! I never had a friend with so much to offer - so sophisticated, knowledgeable, smart, fun, talented in many ways, and more important of all, the best friend I've ever had. I'll miss you Ingrid!

We were fortunate to know Ingrid first as a neighbor across-the-street in Glen Rock, and then as a friend who shared many warm and happy moments with us over the past fifteen years. We'll miss her many talents, her sense of humor, her sharp commentary on the world and her creative spirit, but memories from our time together on Berkeley Place will keep Ingrid in our hearts.
