We are so sorry to hear the news of Inez passing. I remember going to bible school at the Church of the Brethern and she was one of my teachers. Also took a class at the church where she taught us how to make Chrismons. I can't think of a time when I attended events at the church and she wasn't there with that sweet smile. She will be truly missed by all of you, as well as all her friends. You all are in our thoughts and prayers as with our deepest sympathy.

What a lovely lady, who had such a sweet welcoming spirit that she displayed to everyone around her. Inez was in the same Sunday School Class as my husband and I and she always brought sunshine into our lives each time we saw her. She will be sorely missed at the church as well as in the lives of all who knew her. My thoughts and prayers to the family as our dear Lord has called another soul from our midst to her eternal home. What a wonderful thing for such a beautiful lady.
