Add A Condolence

To the family of Mrs. Saundra Inge, you have my deepest condolences on the loss of such a beautiful, loving & wonderful Matriarch. She cared very much for us students on the "Yard." I remember as a Freshman, not having any money or food. A Student Ambassador took us around campus & we ended up at Mrs. Inge's office (Financial Aid). He conversed with her for a while and she came out & gave all five of us, $20 each. It's been 36 yrs., since then, and I remember it as if it was yesterday. I thanked her for that later on & thanked God for her every since. You may have loved her most, but God loved her best. May the Lord continue to bless ya and keep ya, during this, your time of need.
Most Sincerely yours,
James L. Norman FAMU Alumnus

"Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts."
These are truly trying times. From the time I stepped foot in OSA in 2006, until now, Mrs. Inge has always been a towering figure in my life at FAMU. She was a boss, a teacher, a mentor, and a confidant, and most of all a friend. She touched my life in so many ways and I'll carry her lessons with me without exception She was truly a FAMU gem

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost two outstanding FAMUans from your family, words can not express our gratitude and sorrow. John S. Cooperwood College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Institute of Public Health

Mrs. Inge was a caring person. She will be missed.

Inge, You will be deeply missed. The imprint you left on me during my time at FAMU is immeasurable. You gave me my first job in OSA and the experience working by your side was priceless. You encouraged me to run for Electoral Commissioner and I thank you for your mentorship while in that role. I'm grateful for the time we spent together but I am even more grateful to know that you are watching over me and the entire FAMULY. What a blessing it is for Heaven to now have you as an Angel. Rest easy Mama Inge.
With All the Love, Brittany Davis
