I remember the many sleepovers over the years and all the good food, especially the German potato salad. May you rest in peace Aunt Inge.

Words can not express my heart for you, Aunt Inge. The last few months have created memories I will never be able to erase.
You have always been special to me as all my aunts and uncles but being part of your life in your final last months has touched my heart forever.
I got to know your inner heart,feelings and know you for who you really are. A beautiful,loving,caring woman. Someone who was gifted with 2 languages fluently ,an artist, crocheted, knitted, and a loving mother,grandmother and wife.
You are finally out of pain and with the Lord. Now you get to spend time with your son and other family members who have gone before you.
You are now walking with Jesus and living in Paradise. God Bless You.
Love, Chet, Barbara and family
