Tributes
"Deepest sympathies. Farewell. RIP."
"It is not an exaggeration to say that Ingrid was the most cheerful and kind hearted person I ever met. She will be greatly missed at the DDB. My heart goes out her family who have lost a shining light. Condolences."
"I worked with Ingrid at DDB. She always had a smile, looked for ways to help others, and was diligent in her work. She brought sunshine to a job that was often difficult and depressing. Her loss at such a young age is heart-wrenching, but there is no finer tribute than to state a person made the world a better place. Ingrid certainly did that. "
"My sympathy to Jan and the rest of Ingrid's family. Jessie (poodle) and I will miss seeing Ingrid's cheerful smile and laugh as we walk along the path. Ingrid will be greatly missed. "
"I worked with Ingrid for years at DDB. Ingrid will be greatly mourned here. Ingrid always had a kind smile and I never heard her say one bad thing about anyone. She was a rare person. Rest in Peace."
"I worked with Ingrid. Though I didn't know her well, she always had a smile for me and a cheerful "Hello" whenever we crossed paths. Thoughts and prayers to all of her family and friends. "
"I worked with Ingrid for years at the DDB. She was always a bright light in my day - never without a smile and a kind word. Ingrid was always positive and hopeful which makes her loss to leukemia seem even more unfair. My heart breaks for her husband and mom - I can't imagine the pain you're dealing with. Please know that many people here loved her and know what a remarkable person she was."
"I cannot fully express the sorrow I feel for Jan and his family at this time. Ingrid was an amazing person, a spouse and my special friend. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Hold one to her many memories."
"I worked with Ingrid for many years at the DDB, she had the biggest most caring heart and kind personality all wrapped in a little package! My deepest condolences to her family and friends! She was truly an extraordinary person. May you be at peace."
