Sara and Larry, this is Luis Salinas from Corpus Christi, Tx. I was searching for your contact information and remembered Elizabeth's name, only to find that she had passed, so many years ago. I don't know if anyone will see this after so many years, but I wanted to let you know that my hearts goes out to all of the family, all whom I met so long ago, for the loss of your loved one, Elizabeth. I remember meeting her as a child. Margie, my wife, passed away in November, 2020, after a long battle with dementia. Blessings to all of you. My phone # is 361-774-7235.

Sara and Larry, I just heard about Elizabeth. My heart goes out to you both. Elizabeth was such a lovely person. All will be in my prayers. Gail Reagan

Mike, I know we have not seen each other in so long, but when I heard of your loss, I just wanted to say how sorry I am and I will be praying for you and your daughter.

This saddens me tremendously, When my son came home from school and told me about your loss I couldn't believe it.  Mrs. Ingram was my daughters kindergarden teacher and she absolutely adored Mrs. Ingram.  Mrs. Ingram touched many lives and brought more joy to people than she will have ever known.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

E veryone she knew,
L oved this friend so dear.
I magine if you will, her
Z any way with peers.
A smile that lit all rooms,
B efore she even entered.
E specially with her family,
T he glue that kept her centered.
H ow can we now go on?
P erhaps by sharing stories,
A nd keeping others close,
T o lean on when we worry.
T ho she is now in heaven, where
E ach of us hope to be,
R emember her kind soul, and
S hare it with all you meet. For
O nes that she has touched, will
N ever forget she cared,
I hope to pass it on, as it
N eeds to always be shared.
G ive thanks to God above, for
R evealing this sweet soul,
A lady who brightened our lives, and
M ade our hearts so whole!

Mike - my heart breaks for you and Catherine.  I cannot even begin to express my sorrow for you both.  Please know you are in my prayers.

To the family of Elizabeth
I only knew Elizabeth in High School but she always had such a warm and sunny disposition. She was plain and simply a delightful and funny girl. She leaves behind a trail of sweetness that will go on forever. Prayers for your painful loss.

The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will always remember Elizabeth with the fondest of memories. It does not seem so long ago when we were young parents watching our children play, what beautiful memories we have to keep.

Elizabeth was one of my daughter's (Joy) friends. Elizabeth was a very special person - always saw  her with a smile - a cheerful word -- a bright outlook for the future. She was one of the first teachers of my grandson - which helped him. I am thankful she was in his life at that age.  When picking him up from Westlawn School, it was nice to be able to speak to her - Westlawn teachers escort children at the end of the school day to waiting cars for pick up of their kids.  My heart grieves with you  for the loss of her - so young - so beautiful - so outgoing -- such a caring person.

We are so sorry for your loss. Elizabeth was a wonderful person, and I taught right next door to her for 2 years. We laughed together and fretted together. She was my son Josiah's kindergarten teacher. He told us she was the nicest teacher he ever had. Everyone who knew her loved her, including my entire family. You are in our prayers.

Elizabeth will always be remembered as an expression of joy and full of life!!!! My prayers are with family and friends during this time of loss.

You and family are in our thoughts and prayers.  God Bless

Mike. I'm so sorry for your lost .  Elizabeth is a wonderfull person..I will alway have her in my heart   Lisa Kelley

She was a wonderful friend, classmate & person!  She will be missed by all the people she touched!  God be with you all during this time!   Terry & Pam Snyder Kindley!

Mike, you are in my thoughts and prayers..

We are so sorry for your loss!  You have our deepest sympathies, and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

"The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord"  We were all blessed to have known Elizabeth. She carried herself with dignity, grace, joy and happiness, that was infectious.  She had an inner light that she shared with all who met her.  
May the Lord give her family and friends comfort, strenght and help to carry on.

Sara, Larry, Mike and Family: I am so sorry for your loss. May God hold you in the palm of HIs Mighty Hand at this very sad time. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.--Fabienne Thrash (Gessleman)

I am so sorry for the loss of Elizabeth.  She was a year or two older than me in school. There are no words to ease the pain and deep loss.  May God who knows all walk you all through this most difficult phase of life.  .

Sorry to hear of your loss, our family's thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.May God console you with His love.

I haven't seen Elizabeth in over 30 years, but I've never forgotten her or her sweet spirit.  When I was in the 10th grade (many moons ago), Elizabeth was the 'Team Captain' for my group in the Pep Squad at Texas High. This was the 1979-1980 school year. I still have some of things she made for our group so we would feel welcome.  She made a lasting impression.  I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry I waited so long.  I wish I had contacted her before and told her how I felt.  May God bless and keep your family.  Love, Deby Taylor Robertson

So sorry for your loss, I will be thinking of you and your family.
                                                                  Danny & Susan

I cherish the fond memories of playing with Elizabeth as little girls growing up in Beverly, always a sweet and gentle soul. I pray the loving memories everyone has of Elizabeth will bring encouragement. My deepest sympathy to you all.

I worked with Elizabeth at Spring Lake Park. Catherine was a little girl and in kindergarten at that time. Elizabeth was so very proud of her daughter and husband.  Marshall and my daughter Amie were classmates at Texas High.  He often talked about  Elizabeth. I am praying for your loss of a wife, a mother, a sister and a daughter.  May you find some comfort in knowing the many lives Elizabeth touched not just for a day but for a lifetime.

I meet Mrs. Ingram in the Summer of '97 as a teacher in my son class. I also worked for a short time in her class as an aide the spring of the same year. She was always smiling and my son remember her for her...hats. She was truly a great lady. My son (see attached)and I are deeply sorry for your lost and will keep all your Family in our thoughts and prayers.  
May God bless you.
Melrose and Robert Harden

I am so sorry for your loss. You and all of your family are in my prayers.

To the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Ingram, I was so sad when I heard the passing of Mrs. Ingram.  I have a granddaughter that is in Pre-K at Westlawn Elementary School.  I meet Mrs. Ingram during the first day of school, When we heard her last name was Ingram we began to start asking her about the Ingrams we know, Mrs. Wanda Ingram and Mr. Bob Ingram.  She told us that is her in laws and then on we fell in love with her, she had to be a sweet person to be in the Ingram family.  My daughter was a student of Mrs. Wanda Ingram in the 2nd or 3rd grade at Kennedy Elementary and my niece was a band student under the directorship of Mr. Ingram.  We love those two so much.  Mrs. Elizabeth Ingram was just as nice as her in-laws.  Very sweet and  polite lady that always spoke soft and not a loud voice.  She will surely be missed at Westlawn.  Every time my granddaughter (which is 5) would see her in hall way, she would say, "Grannie there goes Mrs. Ingram" She will truly be missed.  My sympathy goes out to her entire family and may God bless and keep you all strong in his arms. Signed: Shelia and Latrina Howard, grandmother and mother of Leslie Harper, student of Mrs. Morris.

Dear Mike and Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Elizabeth.  Although she was my student so many years ago, I will always remember her warm smile and her kind heart.  God bless you all during this most difficult time.  You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mike and Family,

There are no words to describe this tragic loss. Our paths did not cross often, but when they did it was like an old rekindled friendship. You had such a gentle smile and eyes that would light up a room. You were such a delight. We all mourn the loss of your earthly spirit, but God has gained a beautiful angel. 

We are praying that God provides strength to Mike, Catherine, and the entire family.

But have confidence in the realization that because of her wonderful spirit, and faith, that we shall see her again.  Your family is in our prayers and if there is anything we can do please do not hesitate to let me know.

My sister and I admired Elizabeth.  We saw her everyday as she walked at the park.  She was there every afternoon, walking, listening to her music and smiling. We miss her and will continue to walk because of her inspiration. May God comfort you in this very difficult time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is with all of you.  I send you peace and strength.

I will always keep memories of a sweet young girl with me forever. My prayers are to all and know that there are no words that can make this most difficult situation better.

I met Elizabeth in 1994 when I began working at Spring Lake Park. I knew immediately what a very special person she was - always smiling and laughing...such a joy to be around. Several years later, our paths again crossed as we were a part of the first cohort group from TISD to complete our Master's Degree together. She touched the lives of hundreds of people, especially the children in her classroom. She will be greatly missed.

I was saddened to hear of your loss, you & all your family will be in my thoughts & prayers.

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss of Elizabeth.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Elizabeth Patterson Ingram was my classmate! She was a beautiful person outwardly, as well as, inwardly! From time to time, I would see her at Westlawn School and we would talk about the past. We had a great time last summer at our 30th High School Class Reunion! I'm really going to miss her. My prayers are with the family.

All my prayers and love go out to the families of Elizabeth. My heart breaks for you all.
