I am so sorry to hear of Inga's passing, my condolences to the family. She knew my father, Charles Clouse, when they both lived at Vicksburg. He also passed away this year on March 6th. I always enjoyed chatting with her, but never knew her last name. Now I find that her husbands father married into my Gardner family. Her husband John would have been my 4th cousin once removed.
