She sounds like she was the embodiment of kindness and good deeds. I only know her through my former boss and friend Dennis, and his wife Rhonda; who are some of the best people I know. The apple doesn’t fall from the tree. And knowing Dennis and Rhonda confirms this point. My condolences go out to the entire extended House family, and I wish her a peaceful place in heaven.
Cecil, our condolences to you and family. Inez was such a joyful lady and will be missed by all. God Bless
Dennis, our prayers are with you and your family. Best wishes my friend.

Our Lady Inez was called "The fruits of the spirit" by her children in a letter when we honored her with a breakfast at church. She is all that, I will never forget this precious child of God. Heavens gain, Our Loss.
Inez was the sweetest lady, always friendly and smiling. I always looked forward to seeing her and Cecil at church....such a charming couple. I will miss her for now but I know she is with Jesus and I will see her again someday in Heaven. Prayers go up for her family. I know the Lord will comfort them.
Laura my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your mother was the sweetest lady. Hope you can find peace knowing she is in a much better place now. Love you Krista Pike
It has been many years since I've seen Aunt Inez or Uncle Cecil. I remember going with my mother, Mary Anne Gurnsey Rogers, to visit them both when I was young, sitting around laughing while listening to them tell stories, and eating pie. Aunt Inez made the best pies and you could tell she baked with love. She had an incredible laugh and she was one of those people that you couldn't help but to love. She will be greatly missed and even though its been so long, I will always love her and remember what an incredible lady she was.
Barry and I send our deepest condolences to Dennis and Rhonda, and all the House family at this sad time. What a long marriage your mom and dad had and how hard it must be for him. Our thoughts and prayers to you all.
Cecil, Dennis & family — we were so sad to hear of Inez’s passing. She was a such a sweet lady that was always smiling. Praying for your family during this difficult time. May God give you the comfort with his blessings.
Mrs. Inez was the sweetest,most kind little lady you'd ever meet. To have gotten to know her over the years, is priceless. Many precious memories of us all being together on a cruise. She had a smile that would brighten any room and genuine hugs that always left you knowing that you had been touched by an angel. Much Love & Sympathy. Ron & Shirley Standridge
You all are in my thoughts.
CECIL, DENNIS, LAURA AND FAMILY, WE ARE KEEPING YOU IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. MAY THE LORD COMFORT YOU ALL IN THIS TIME OF SORROW. GOD BLESS.
