Aunt Inga is who I knew her as. She was not my blood aunt but blood could not have made us any closer. The funniest memory of Inga was when we were playing a card game called black card revoked and the question was " Jerome was a playa playa from where and she said .... Detroit!!! We were all weak on the floor laughing. I said auntie, it's the Himalayas. She said oh, that's right but Jerome sound like someone from Detroit. She was truly the life of the party. I will miss her dearly. I do not have the words to express but just know I cared and love me some Inga Smith. Kevin and Sarita Harris
