Inga interviewed me when my son, Philip Dhanens, died from a hazing accident while attending Fresno State in 2012. She was kind and tender. Inga was one of two stations that I accepted interviews. Before we went on air, I was sitting with her and on her desk she had the following quote, "You can't fix problems with the same mind that created them." It sits on my desk, now, and has become a part of my daily life. I frequently share this quote with others. Now that I know she has received her heavenly reward, I'll continue to pray for her...thanking God for allowing her into my life.

Inga was...Inga. I met her in college, and we had classes together. Then I got onto the ComedySportz team, and there she was again! She was funny, nutty, and friendly. There were a lot of things we didn´t agree on, but I always considered her to be a great human being. Virtual hugs to her sons, the first of whom I only knew while he was in the womb.

Inga is and always will be one of my oldest friends.
She was always there when I needed someone.
I always referred to her as my little sister.
I give my most sincere condolences to her family.

I've just learned of Inga's passing and am in shock. Such a special, smart lady. I wondered why I haven't heard her on the radio lately, and when I researched I never expected this news. Condolences to her sons.

An amazing and wonderful woman who is truly missed! Inga was a California political expert and yet so down to earth and friendly. She spoke the truth. I can't believe she is gone so soon. We knew each other though we never met. Best woman on radio. A great wit. Prayers for her family.

Inga was a wonderful woman and patriot. My husband and I met her at a few events and I continued staying connected through social media and as a caller. I lost touch the last couple years since exiting Facebook and the news of her passing has been shocking and very sad. I pray God reminds her family every day that she is in their future.

Inga was such a special lady...When I auditioned for "Kern County's next big radio talk show host", when the position became available, she took me under her wing & we ended up doing a few shows together . . . it was a blast! We'l all miss her.

I am so sad to hear this. I was friends with Inga on Facebook and she would comment on my comments. She was so nice and down to earth. I always missed her when she was no longer on the radio and would check on her once in a while to see what she was up to. She was so much fun to listen to...smart and sharp. Miss you, Inga.
