Mom, it´s been 20 years and I still can´t believe you had to leave us when you did. I´m now 2 years older than you were when you passed. It´s not been easy without you here. I was married for about 10 years to a really sweet beautiful woman...Blew it! I had a son 3 years ago with a girlfriend, her and I have split up since (predicted it) but your grandson is beautiful! Nathaniel Stax Waters born 12/13/2021. He is my pride and joy! You would absolutely ADORE him! I´m hanging in there like a dirty shirt just trying to do my best. Haven´t heard from Skyla in a while now. She´s mad at me for some reason I may never know or understand because honestly I think she doesn´t really know why either. Maybe you can pull some strings up there? Of course I love her and miss her very much my heart is open for her always and I know she knows that. She appears to be doing well and I of course hope by all accounts she is. Miss you every day Mom! Me and Craig often talk about you and the old days ...Ah Hell you know all of this already. I just wanted to leave a note here and let you and the world know I love you and I miss you. Be good to yourself Mom. Say hi to grandma grandpa and aunt Diane and anyone else you bump into out there Love and I will always be with you.
Brian
ps See ya soon enough

Hey Mom,
One year ago was the sadest day of my entire life. You left us for a better place. As sad as I am, and as much as I miss you; I am glad that you are resting peacefully with family and friends. I think of you day in and day out. I will keep thinking of you every day until we meet again. I just want you to know that, and I also want you to know that I love you so much. You are my mother; You gave birth to me!!! I am your son. FOREVER!!!!
We love you mother. All of us. Until we meet again. Bye mother and I love you with all my heart.

Hey Mom,
How are you? Heather and I are doing fine. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I was thinking of you all day. I looked at a lot of kids spending time with their mother's today, and they were having so much fun. I was so happy for them. I hope everything is going all right up there in heaven. And I hope you are giving Uncle Bill the grand tour. I'm sure you know, because you are giving him the grand tour, that he past away on Monday from a heart attack. Wow! May is not a good month. In fact, it is definitely my least favorite month. Anyways, I am finally graduating from college in two weeks. I am so excited. I was honored a few weeks ago. I made the Dean's List. I was so happy. That means that I have a 3.65 G.P.A. or better. I then received a letter in the mail the other day saying that I would be honored as a National Dean's List student. Supposedly they only pick the top 1% of Dean's List students from around the U.S. and choose them to be a National Dean's List Student, and I was one. Also, POPS is coming here in a few weeks for graduation. I am excited. And I know you will be here. I miss you so much!!!!! I love you so much!!!!!Happy Mother's Day!!!! Heather says hello!!!!! We love you with all our hearts, and we will talk to you soon. With love,
Miah and Heather

Hi Mom,
Merry Christmas! It is going to be a rough Christmas without you around. I constantly think of you day in and day out. I miss talking to you and seeing you.
Heather and I are going to spend our first Christmas as a married couple here in California. It won't be the same for us, especially because it is the first Christmas away from Minnesota and our families ever for the both of us. I know you will be here with us on Christmas morning though. I will look for you. I will talk to you. I will pray for you.
Other than that, Heather and I are almost done with school. We both only have one more semester left. I will finally have that college degree I have been working so hard for for such a lond time, and Heather will have her second degree. We are so looking forward to it. My grades have been awesome, and I have been learning a lot. I even won a prestigous scholarship this semester from the PR Roundtable of San Francisco, which will look good on the resume.
My internship with the San Jose Sharks is going well still. I am almost done with the five month internship.
Heather and I are going back to Minnesota in January. We found some time to do so. We are looking forward to it.
Our plans to go to Spain are shaping up as well. We are going there in June for our Honeymoon and graduation present. We are both definetly looking forward to that.
I have had two feature stories published in a magazine over the last month or so. They were fun to write and it was fun to interview the people involved.
Well, I gotta go. I love you very much. I will talk to you soon. I love you so, so, so, so, so MUCH!
Your son,
Miah

Dearest Friend Ingra, my poor little dog pretty girl Inez passed over yesterday and I pray that she is watched over by you and my grandmother who I named her after. You'll find her so special and a joy to watch over. I miss you Ingra and I hope you and Inez have lots of fun together.

Hi Mom,
Well, Heather and I are now husband and wife. What a feeling. It's great. The wedding was a success and everyone had a wonderful time. Many said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. I know that you know all this though because you were there. I saw you dancing to The Rev. Al Green and others. You were shaken it. Craig even said that he saw you in some of the pictures. It wasn't the same without you there. I miss you and I love you. I think of you continuiously every day. I love you. Talk to you soon.
Your son,
Miah

**Ring, Ringing, YOOHOOOOOOOOO INGRA**
Girlfriend missing you and not being able to call up and chat is such a bummer. This week I've been thinking of your birthday two years ago when I showed up early in the morning with a big batch of flowers and your favorite dounuts. You were so cute wanting to take a picture of the flowers heehee. Remember how we sat on your patio that morning talking about how old we are getting and how we were sooo tired already..... strange how things happen. Then last year you with both shoulders in pain and me with back problems, we made quite the pair yacking about our hurts. Now I get a different pain each time I head down Robert St. and see the Port of Beriut, that place will always remind me of you, and the time we ran over there and ordered $50 bucks of food and took it all back to your place and pigged out. I miss our friendship girlfriend, I MISS YOU !
Forever your friend*

WHEN tomorrow starts without me, AND I'm not there to see, IF the sun should rise and find your eyes, ALL filled with tears for me, I WISH so much that you wouldn't cry, THE way you did today, WHILE thinking of the many things, WE didn't get to say, I KNOW how much you loved me, AS much as I love you, AND each time you think of me, I'LL know you'll miss me too, BUT when tomorrow starts without me, PLEASE try to understand, THAT an ANGEL came and called my name, AND took me by the hand, AND said my place was ready, in heaven far above, AND that I would have to leave behind, All those I dearly LOVE, AS I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home, WHEN GOD looked down and smiled at me, FROM his great golden throne, HE said "THIS IS ETERNITY, AND ALL I PROMISED YOU", TODAY my life on earth is past, BUT here it starts a-new, I PROMISE no tomorrow, BUT TODAY will always last, AND since each day is the same, THERE'S no longing for the past, SO will you take my hand, and share my life with me? WHEN tomorrow starts without me, DON'T think we're far apart, FOR EVERYTIME YOU THINK OF ME,I'M RIGHT HERE, IN YOUR HEART. --unknown-- MY DEAREST INGRA..I found this BEAUTIFUL POEM, on an "AMERICAN INDIAN "web site. I know you sent it my way, to help me through each day...and everyone who's life you touched I'm sure would feel this way. I'm trying to be strong, in each and every day. Your'e right here in my heart, where you'll always stay. But strong I'm not...you were my rock. I miss you in every way. I think of you at least, a hundred times a day!! I remember one of your pictures on the wall, of a native american girl, who looks just like you. This poem should stand beside it, it belongs to you. I miss you Ingra, so bad, my heart is broken. From your old friend "ETHEL," to my "LUCY."

Aunt Ingra, When I think of you I think of your smile and your laugh and how you were always so loving. Your three boys are proof that love is the most important thing you can give a child. My cousins are caring, wonderful men because you and Dan gave them so much love. They love you so much because of it. I hope that I can raise my three boys as well as you raised yours and that they will have the same strong feelings of love for me that your boys have for you. I think of you often, you are an inspiration to me. I can't help but smile when I think of you and I hope that you can watch over me from above and help me be as good a Mom as you. I miss you and Love you very much!

Hey Mom,
It's Miah. I had just finished up studying for a huge midterm I have tommorow, and I was thinking about you. I miss you mother. Words can not describe the pain I have been feeling since your departure. I have been staying busy (with summer classes, work, planning the wedding, and all of my other daily activities), but I still think of you daily. The one thing that I can't believe mother, is that I can't call you up and talk to you whenever I want anymore. This hurts me because we have had some wonderful conversations. Now, I will have to come here and talk to you, and if you want, you can respond to me by showing me a specific sign. Whatever you want. I don't care. I won't be freaked out at all. I love you mother. I wish I could hug you right now. I will write to you often, and I will let you know how I am doing. By the way, I got all A's this semester again mom, and I now only have 4 classes to go until I have my college degree. Heather and I picked out our wedding bands last week too. We are pretty close to being done with everything for the wedding. We just have a few minor things to take care of. But boy, What a project it was. Well, I guess I could ramble on for hours with you mom, but I know you have others to talk with as well. Tell Grandpa and Grandma Fasching, Grandpa Carlson, Ervin, Seal, Ron, Sparky, Russ, Kisha and God that I said hello. I love you mom, and I will be thinking of you constantly. You are about all I think about. I miss you and love you. Happy fourth of July. May you appear in the sky while I watch the fireworks. Love, Miah. FOrever and ever and ever and ever, your son.

"Hey, Sis!" Now you're supposed to say "Heyyyyyyy,HIIiiighh,Bro" How I long to hear that again. I'm thankful that I have such a vivid memory of the sound of your voice.Each day when I look at your picture I hear that warm voice and have to again force myself to believe what has truly happened. I do miss you terribly. Remember the time in Kanona when you, Dan and I drove Char out of the house as we cooked up a huge mess of smelt?Or how 'bout the time that I came over to your place just to kill some time.It was my birthday and you had just bought a bushel of clams.You, Dan and I finished off evry one of those clams that night!It was Great!I remember the wonderful time we had celebrating your wedding around the campfire at Sean and Denice's.We all laughed long and hard that night.The times when we would get together with the kids and the canoes at a lake somewhere.It would be easy to just go on and on reminiscing with you about all those times and more.One day, we'll do that!! Oh, Sis, how I wish I could call and talk to you right now.I would tell you about a great new bluesman that I just heard and wanted to turn you on to. But chances are you already knew him{or her}.I, too share the thoughts of all your wonderful friends and loved ones.I do take comfort in knowing that your pains are no more and I know that you're in a better place.Ya know what?? I have discovered that if I sit very quietly and concentrate deeply... I can still hear the Hoover!!! I love you, Ing!Give my love to Dad.

Ingra my dear friend I miss you so much and you know how heavy my heart still is. I glance at your picture everyday and think wow your really gone, and Im still in shock. Missing you big time girlfriend and Im trying not to be sad knowing that at last your out of that awful pain and in peace. As you know Im going to Syliva Browne on Sunday and my fingers crossed that I will be picked to ask a question. Her new book on our pet animals that have passed makes me wonder just how many pets your running around with up there lol. Of course you know everyone is waiting for a sign from you, it's a major thing down here ya know so hop to it girl (waiting with excitment here) I'm so thankful for our friendship and looking forward to meeting you again.

Ingra Over the past 40 years you have been a colorful weave in the fabric of my life. From 16 year old giggles & hiding from our mom's at Janice's. To married with children. All this time you are always a kind gentle loving Ingra. Tho' our lives briefly took different directions We were to be brought back together again.
I was blessed to be your friend and twice blessed to become a part of your family. As I sit here with your bro' at my side, ever loving, I remember back to meeting your mom. Your mom the kind, gentle loving mom. I realize this is a beautiful family trait.
Fast forward to your gentle beautiful loving children.
They were twice blessed also because they got the traits from both sides.
Thru becoming part of your family you were woven back into my life and brought us into yours in Mpls.
Thank's for 15 yrs and countless happy times sharing your beautiful life that you & Dan created. (Except waiting for you for a day? at the lake!!)
There was nothing that made any of us happier than when you found the love of your life you longed for.
For anyone who didn't truly know you just listen to the loving words of Dan, your three extrordinary boys, Darrell, Katie, Roni, Miah's friends,... all with pieces of Ingra, all the same....Kind loving Ingra.
You will be missed by many heavy hearts.
You are ever in our hearts, Love Tom and Charleen

Ing - As usual I am late getting this entry in but as Colleen said, I have thought of you all the time since you left us and many times a day!! I will miss you calling me your Big Sis!! And miss hearing you laugh at something stupid I said!! We will be together again someday!! I loved seeing all your boys together again. That is some family you and Dan created! All that love had to come from the two of you. Wish you could have been there to see me walk through (yes, through) your screen door, but I could hear you laughing anyway!! I will miss you forever and until we meet again, I love you!!! Your Bis Sis, Diane

To Dan and the boys who all love Ingra, as do we. She was a very special person. The world is a litle less now that Ingra is in heaven; and we will miss her sunny disposition, her ready laugh, her warmth and love. But we can all carry that in our hearts.. and she and Dan will be in our prayers.

Ingra, I think of you daily, many times throughout the day. Words can not express the sadness I feel and How I smile to myself about some of our silly talks. How I would love to hear you laugh again - but I do in my mind. And I prayed for you to give me a strong sign if you came to me! And oh how you must have laughed when you answered that prayer! Ingra please forgive me for not being there for you when you needed me - little did I know that I was going to lose the chance. I was supposed to leave first being the older sister. My consolation is that you will be there waiting for me. We will not sit on the porch in our rocking chairs talking about old and new times like we had planned - but we will be together. How I miss your laugh, your caring ways, and the way you called me "Sis." There is so much in my heart and thoughts and I am sure you know it all. Please visit me soon and often until we can fly together.
Your Sis, Colleen
I almost forgot to tell you how I loved seeing your boys together and how handsome and wonderful they all are. No wonder you were always so proud and sad when they were so far away.

I still have a hard time believing you are gone, I just want to pick up the pone and say when are we getting together. I feel really bad I couldn't get up and speak at the service, But I would of said you are my sister, we had a ton of good times together (like our trip to Tampa)and many others,I will miss you terribly,you always had nice things to say to me, and I will keep making your guacomole, but it won't ever stand up to yours, but I thank you for teaching me, we just have to get Darrell to try it :). I will keep an eye on Dan i know he misses you very much. I have some of your jewelry that I wear every day makes me feel close to you. Say hi to mom ,dad,Russ etc..I am sure they are happy to meet and see you. I love you.
Neice ( only Ingie was allowed to call me that!)

Dear Ingra,
I can not believe that you are no longer with us, you will be missed by so many. I will always remember you, and you will always be in my heart. I know that I told you this a long time ago, but I want to tell you again that I love you. Thank you so much for all the love that you showed me, it was always fun to run into you at the airport (you would get so excited as would I). It was always nice to know that I was welcome at you home and with your family. (The Thanksgiving that I spent with you guys was definitely the most fun that I have ever had on a holiday). JR is going to do great things, how could he not he is the perfect combination of you and Dan. He has really amazed me with all that he has accomplished, I know that you are so proud of him as am I. I can hardly believe that within the next year he will be married and graduating from college. I want you to know that I will always watch out for him, so no need to worry. Heather is great, so that makes my job easy. I know that you will be with us, watching and making sure that everyone is okay. I know that you are in a wonderful place.
Love,
Kelly

Mom, this is the third time I have written to you. Once in Inver Grove Heights and two times here in Santa Clara, Ca., and I still must you very much. I will keep writing because I know you can read each and every word I write. I love you so much. You were such a wonderful mother and wife. Daddio, Craig Brian, and myself knew how a great of a person you were and still are. We love you so much. I think about you constantly. I wish we could of spent more time with each other over the last few years. I will continue to talk to you each and every night before I go to bed. I love you mom, and I miss you. Love, Jeremiah. p.s. Heather and I are getting our wedding stuff done. You would of loved the invitations. They look magnificant. Until next time, Bye.

Ingra, my dear cousin. The memories have been flooding my mind. And I so regret not having been able to sit with you over the past years and enjoy a game of "remember the time we......" You gave me such wonderful memories of growing up together - the holidays at Grandma's; the sleep-overs; the school dances; the talks about boys! There's part of me now that whines "it's just not fair...it's just not right" and then there's the comforting knowledge that you gave love and wonderful, warm memories to many, and for that you will always be loved and remembered.
Dan and family, Aunt Kay and family - my thoughts are with you.

Aunt Ingra--no words can begin to describe how badly we miss you. 11 days ago you were called to work at the big airport in the sky. The love in your heart will forever radiate through your three wonderful children and husband that are still here with us. What a phenomenal family you and Uncle Dan created. Your love was always unconditional and complete and there were (and still are) so, so many people who feel the same love for you. You will always be missed physically...but you will ALWAYS be here in spirit and will always live on in our hearts and minds. Uncle Dan, Brian, Craig and Jeremiah--what can i say guys...I love you all!!! As i told each of you-I am glad we all got to see each other after all this time; but damn the circumstances. My heart and thoughts go out to each one of you as you continue to persevere through this difficult time. I love you guys and look forward to seeing you soon--if at all possible in August when Jeremiah brings his wonderful fiance into the family.

Ingra- Even though I have only known you for three years, you have touched my life more than most people have on this earth - you are the one that created my future husband. You along with Dan are the people that raised him to be the wonderful man that he is. I thank you for that.
- I am a very firm believer that you will continue to be with us, and the rest of your family throughout our living years. We will continue to speak about you,and also to you, knowing that you are watching us from above.
-There are so many wonderful qualities that you possess as a woman. You had the ability to make every person around you to feel very special.
-I am very thankful to have been able to share and experience three years of life with you.
With all of my love, Heather

I havn't seen Ingra in a few years, but memories of her are as fresh in my mind as if I had seen her yesterday. Her smile was so bright that it would light up the room. She was so positive and kind. She always brought a smile to my face and laughter to my heart. And it was such a joy to see how she kept such a lovely balance of feminine energy in a house full of "her" boys! She was one of the most beautiful women I have ever known. I was always baffled at the way that she didn't seem to see that in herself as much as others could. Ingra, I know that you can see your beauty now.

Mom, you will be greatly missed. You were the best damn mom in the world. You would always be there for us boys and pappa if we needed you. I will miss hugging you, holding you, talking to you, and sharing my life with you. I will miss your tremendous spunk and your beautiful smile. I'm going to miss you so much. I will talk to you each and every night. Feel free to come around and hang out with me at any time. I am sadened that you will not be at my wedding in August. I know you were looking forward to it. It will be hard without you there, but I know you will be there in spirit. I was so looking forward to giving you grand children. They were coming sooner then later. I know you were looking forward for them. I will forever miss your human presence, but I know your soul will always be with me. I will see you again sometime in the future, but until then, rest in peace mother and enjoy. I will forever love you. Your son, Miah.

My heart is with all of you during this difficult loss. I did not know Ingra as well as I would have liked to, but her infectious essence will stay with me forever. I spoke on the phone with her on many occassions, but the only time I saw her was when I was in the airport and had to find her before I left just so I COULD actually meet her. When I told her who I was she got so excited and was shouting to everybody that I was like a daughter to her and how beautiful she thought I was. She was definately a woman of extremely kind words and thoughts for others. Her spirit is beautiful and strong and I pray she always remain with and watch over Dan and her three sons. My warmest most loving thoughts to you.

Dan,I am just so sorry to hear of Inga's passing. My memory of her is huge smiles, sparkling eyes, bringing her liveliness to your home. She was your friend and companion, and you will, for a time, be lost without her. Stay close to friends and family who care for you both. Please know that my loving thoughts are with you too.

Ingra was one of the most amazing friends I have ever had in my life. She was a free spirit, full of love, life, and a way about her that made everything fun and interesting. I treasure the memories I have of our times together, and the memories of her children at our house when they were young. We have not been in touch for a long time, but I will never forget her. My sympathies to Dan and all of the family. Now she really is watching down on us.

I am sorry. Ingra loved every one in her family. She talked about all of you and was very proud of the things you do. I have worked with Ingra for a long time and have enjoyed out shifts together at the airport. Love Rick
