Ingrid and I shared many experiences the main being work and the love of riding. She had a heart of gold which many times she tried to hide but her friends always knew was there. There was always love and concern coming from her in a a funny, crazy way. Ingrid was deeply loved by Narain, her family and her friends and she will be missed just as deeply. We must all remember now that we were blessed to have had a life that she was a part of ,

I am so sorry to hear of Ingrids passing. She was a wonderful person and a dedicated civil servant. She taught me much as I replaced her in the Registrars office. With much sympathy her family and friends are being thought of. May many happy memories ease your loss and bring you comfort.
