Dearest Patti & extended Family.
Sending you all my deepest condolences and love to you all from across the globe.
Inge was such a beautiful Lady and I count myself so fortunate to have met her twice. She is largely responsible for Patti & I becoming penpals back in 1976, when she suggested to Patti that we should. It was the start of the most beautiful friendship, that now spans 50 years & so important to me. May she rest in eternal peace in the loving arms of her beloved husband Joe.
To all the Montag families we are very sorry to hear of your loss.Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.Bill and Marlene Douma.

Dear, beautiful, feisty lady. I'll miss your quiet sense of humor, and your matter of fact stubborn way. It was a joy to have been a small part of your life. I'll miss you.
