Aunt Inge was like a second mom to me and my siblings. She was always smiling and strong minded and knew how to make someone feel special. I am saddened by her passing but much relieved knowing she is no longer suffering. I loved her very much and will miss her sweet smile.

Such a sweet and loving lady. She always had a smile and hug for me. I will always remember her screaming in her German/English accent
“GO O’HARA” as she watched the Celtics play football. You will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know you.
I spent more time at the Cronley’s than home when I was in high school. Thank you, Inge, for the fond memories and for always treating me like family. You were a bright star in life and are now a bright star with the Angels. Vicki et al, I know you will miss her.
Vicki, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very special lady and will be missed. I will be thinking of you and your family in the coming days and saying a prayer for you now and then.
