To Frank, Roger, Sandy and Billy,

so sorry to hear that Ingrid passed away too soon. I only met her a few times when David and I lived in Miami. Sandy and Billy you sure remember us. I believe we met Frank ones and I never had the pleasure to meet Roger. He was out and about back in the early 90's doing other things.
Just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and that your wife, mother, mother in-law was a women we will never forget. We still remember her with her thick (back then long) red hair, laughing and making jokes. She was one of a kind!
We know Marga and Omi are thinking of her. Every time we went to see them in Germany we talked about Ingrid.

Thinking of you! Take care!

David and Tanja
