Dear Mom & Dad it's been sometime since I have written tomorrow is going to be hard on me Daddy it's your Birthday, you'd be 98 and then the next day September 6th ,2006 is when God took Mommy to be with you daddy. I have been through so much, mentally I wonder how I've lived through all my medical issues without losing the battle. I am so lonely without my family I often feel like I'm on a rock all by myself. Eldon is doing great and has become quite the animal lover, he's got 3 cats, 1 dog and a Golden Bearded dragon nut's huh? He just turned 36 and came up to see me for his Birthday of course had to cook his favorite meal. I so miss you both, I don't think I can or will ever forget either of those two days. You made me a good mother and someone with strong Morals I''m quite close to God these days since to be honest I can't fool a fooler, I know my days are after all numbered. You you both so much thank you for choosing me to be your daughter. Peace love hugs & kindness always, Karen your loving daughter always

Dear Mother and Daddy: The past few years have been very trying for me and I often wish I could please just talk to you, there for awhile I thought that I was joining you since last year in 2010 I had open heart surgery and they found out I had lung cancer in both lungs but I guess you both already know that. I wish I wish we could still be all together and I know one day we will, I am not afraid of dying I afraid of leaving my loved ones alone I am sure that's how you felt. I miss you so much especially being able to pick-up the phone and talk with you. I am so sorry that I ever took you for granted at any one time in my life. You gave me a wonderful up bringing and such great morals. Compared to the children today you were my "Gods"....Until we see each other again I love you and await my return to be by your sides. I always liked being in the middle...Maybe Dad we can go fishing and Mom I just want to fall asleep on your lap like old times. Give "Kitty" a big kiss for me and Duke and Buddy...Your loving daughter, Karen Adele Sjoquist-Rivelli

Dear Mother: It's been three days since we have buried you and I am still quite in shell shock. I am so sorry that I was not there at the time of your passing. I so wanted to be there however I believe there is a reason for everything. I am worried about your daughter "Dolly". The empty "nest" syndrome. She was your best care giver - we both (Linda & Karen) know that and want to say Thank-You for being there when we could not. Keep in mind we are three not one - and we will live forever in your thoughts now and till the end of time... Your loving Daughters, Dolly - Linda & Karen

Dear Dolly,Linda,Karen & Family, We were so sorry to hear about your Mom. We remember all the good times we had with all of you many years ago.We use to come over to the house and watch football with your Mom & Dad and your Mom would make her famous Pasties. They were delicous. After we moved to McHenry we kept in touch with Ruby on the phone & had many a lenghtly coversation. We would meet up when I had a dental appointment in Arl. Hts. for lunch & we would always have a great time.We lost touch over the last 7 years, but Rich & I always kept her in our thoughts. We would often say--I wonder how Rugy Bagonia is doing? We have special memories of her & we will never forget her. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this said time. Love Mary & Rich Sabat
