Sharyn Carroll-Jones: Very sorry to hear. Ingrid was such a lovely lady.
Terry Colli: Ingrid was my rock during all the days I led the Public Relations operation at the Embassy. She kept me out of so much trouble - and always with her gentle voice and warm smile.

RIP INGRID
(Embassy friends of Ingrid will be getting together to raise a glass and share memories in the near future and will share photos to this page.)
I am so sad to hear about Ingrid's passing and would like to convey my deep sympathy to all her family and friends. It was such a pleasure to work with Ingrid at the Canadian Embassy in Washington. She was like the mother of the Public Affairs section -- you could ask her anything at anytime and she always was so patient and always had time for you. I also enjoyed practicing my not-so-good high school German with Ingrid. You will be missed, Ingrid.
