Not sure what to say?

Signe, a warm wonderful woman, neighbor and friend. She was so intelligent but could reach all people. I send my sincere sympathy to her sons. She will be missed by many. I know she is in heaven...

To Tom, Julian, and David,
It is with deep sadness that I write to you after learning about the passing of your incredible mother. Dr. Signe meant more to the life of my family than words could fully express. Signe and Vernon Brightman changed our lives. At a time when life seemed to crumble before us with hopelessness, with an ill husband Philip, and a baby Kudzai, they gave us hope and love in a way no one else could. Your amazing parents became like our own parents to Philip and me...

Julian and family - I have so many fond memories of your mom. She was lovely, kind, charitable, super-smart, and always had a warm hug for me when I would have the occasion to see her over the years. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Signe,
You were a light upon this world. We will dearly miss you. Shine bright in heaven, and say hello to Vernon, Joyce and Marvin for me. xxxooo Love to you, and may your memory abide for blessing. Peace

Rest in peace!
