Steve, Rhonda, & Emily

I have not forgotten you my friend. I know you are still with me. I use your stethoscope every day. I miss you now and always will...You are still an inspiration!

Although Signe and I never met in person, I felt a true bond with her due to our same unique illness and symptoms. I am truly sorry for all of her family and friends that are grieving her loss, for it is a great one. I dream of her riding horses with the wind blowing on her face, eating anything but chicken and rice(except sushi) and shining her light down on all that need her in a moments notice. I am lucky to have had her in my life, although brief and through facebook. May memories of her get passed on for generations. With all my love, my shining light and sincere condolences, A friend, Barb

I just found out today of Signe's passing......I am in shock. She was such a sweet person, always a smile on her face. The last time we ran into each other, we were both in a hurry.....she was on her way to a blind date. She looked beautiful, and as always, smiling......I will remember her looking so beautiful that night. My thoughts to her family, as I will miss her always waving to me with her beautiful smile.

To the girl with the beautiful smile! Thank you for taking such great care of our kids when you babysat for us. I can't tell you how much you mean to so many!! We are sending prayers for peace to your friends and family.

We are deeply saddened by your loss, our hearts go out to you and your loved ones and may our prayers guide Signe soul to our Heavenly Father.

My deepest condolences to Signe's Family.
Signe Smile and kindness will be missed. My prayers

I met Signe at the barn which I'm sure was one of her favorite places to be. She was always in a good mood and the first to lend a hand. She was so very generous with support in every way and so selfless when it came to her self. Really just a great soul- fly high Sig!

So sorry of the tremendous loss of a beautiful nurse friend and person. I worked with Signed in OB at Pch and she was always a go getter and fantastic nurse. So many conversations we had and laughs. Missed her when she went to ER but they gained a great collegue. My condolences to your family as well as the hundreds of friends you have. Rest in peace my beautiful friend.

SIGNE WAS A WONDERFUL BOSS TO WORK FOR AND A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ALWAYS. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for God to comfort and strengthen you.

Signe's smile made me feel so good every time I saw her. Though years apart we were best of friends who got to see each other only at horse shows. And what a time we always had. I'll never be at another show without missing you, Signe. May you ride the horses of your lifetime for all eternity.

I worked with Signe at PCH and have kept up with her since. Signe was such a wonderful person. I always loved my conversations with her. She was so upbeat and always put a smile on your face. She will be truly missed.

I am so shocked to hear of Signe's passing. I often cared for her during the times she was hospitalized at Palos Community Hospital. No matter how poorly she felt, she always had a smile on her face and a cheery "hello." She never spoke of herself, but wanted to know how I was doing and what was new in my life. Rest easy in the arms of Our Savior, Signe.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend Signe. She was a true inspiration to all of us who knew her. She absolutely loved being a nurse and made us all so proud. Her passing is devastating to me- I will miss her always . RIP my friend - I know you are at peace with no sickness or pain . I will never forget you .

Signe was such a wonderful person, she will be missed. To all her family and friends, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry for your lose. I worked with Signe for many years and always enjoyed her company. She was an awesome nurse and beautiful person. I will personally miss her very much.

Our sincere condolences to Signe's family. May you feel the comfort of God's arms surround you. Signe was a bright ray of sunshine to everyone she met. We will all miss her sparkling eyes, genuine smile, and her laugh. I can here her laugh as I type this. Signe was an amazing inspiration to so many. Her strength and determination is unequalled. Dear Signe, you are no longer in pain, rejoicing in the house of your Lord.

God Bless your beautiful soul
Your smile always so beautiful
May the beauty of Heaven embrace your soul
Our Deeoest Sympathy to your family

What a beautiful young woman. We are so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Bill & Judy Ferguson

To the family of Signe,
Signe was my graduate student at the University of St. Francis Leach College of Nursing (LCON), and she was a fantastic student!! Signe was always motivated and a perfectionist. Despite her illness, Signe's assignments were always turned in on time and excellent, and her attitude wonderful. My deepest sympathy on your loss.
Dr. Sharon Abbate

Signe's spirit and spark continue to inspire. Blessed by her higher perspective and ways, and her choice to smile. Bright light of Signe shines on and continues to illuminate the path

Dear Bernardoni Family,

Our deepest sympathy on your loss. Signe's bubbly personality was a blessing to us all. Her persistence and determination gave us an additional six weeks with our brother Al we would not have had otherwise if not for her, while she battled her own illness. Courageous and Caring indeed. I wish we could have done the same for her and her family. She will always be special to us and I know she is in heaven with him now having fun. Rest in peace Signe and may God Bless her and her family and give them strength to carry on in her memory.

With Love and Prayers,
Alyce Dalto and Family

Signe, your courage and tenacity were an inspiration. I will miss our dinners to talk about work, horses and life. I hope you are riding like the wind my friend. Until we meet again.

No more pain, no more worries Signe as you are resting in the arms of your Heavenly Father. Your body is whole, perfect in every way now. My condolences and prayers to your family during this time. I will see you at the rapture if not before.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for you at this difficult time.

Signe, was an exemplary FNP student while attending the University of St. Francis Leach College of Nursing (LCON). After graduating and achieving board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner; she graciously volunteered her time during our Graduate Nursing Orientation sharing Tips for Success with incoming graduate nursing students. The LCON faculty will truly miss her.

I am so sorry to hear that Signe has passed away. She was a wonderful nurse and I always enjoyed talking with her when our paths crossed at work. I cannot image how sad you must be-- and yet I trust you rejoice in her seeing her Saviour face to face! My prayers are with you all. Know that Signe was loved and respected by her colleagues at PCH.

Brenda, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for the lost of your beautiful daughter. I have wonderful memories of the stories you told me about Signe when I worked with you at Riverside. I never met Signe but felt like I knew her by the way you talked so lovingly about her. May she be at peace. My prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to Signe's family. She was a wonderful cheerful person. It was a pleasure knowing her. She will be missed. RIP Signe....you left us too soon.

As a coworker in the ED, I have witnessed Signe's can do attitude...as a new orientee in the ED, a seasoned ED RN caring for a critical patient, taking on the challenging manager's position, returning to school to achieve her NP......training her new horse....caring for her aging horse...all while battling health issues.....and doing it with that beautiful smile and infectious giggle. You will be missed. My most sincere condolences to family. Taken too soon....

Signe was part of our "horse family". We all shared a passion for our Dressage horses. She will be greatly missed.

I first met Signe when she came to board her horse at my stable in New Lenox. I was so impressed with her determination, friendliness and wonderful attitude towards people and animals. I was stunned to hear of her passing. Rest in peace Signe, know that you were greatly loved by many. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed by all of us.

Signe was a friend to everyone she met. The horse world lost a very special woman, who was always happy when spending time with her horses as well as her kitties. She was always supportive, never complained, worked hard and fought a battle that many would not have survived as long. Signe, left the world a better place and she was a very special woman, who God took home to be with Him. She will be missed by many more than most people realize; she is irreplaceable, but an example for all to try to imitate. RIP, my friend, until we meet again.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your love one. Signe was truly a pleasure to know, heaven must have needed another Angel.

A gentle loving nurse who was a friend to many. Fond memories of our work together in the Emergency Department and Nursing Department of Palos Community Hospital. Her care and concern for people and her horses reflected her loving spirit. May Our Lord welcome her into eternal peace and joy.

Signe was a ray of sunshine at Ingmire Large Animal Clinic. She was forever trying to get me to try her sushi. I never became a fan, but it wasn't for lack of Signe's attempts. Rest in God's loving arms, Signe!!

I remember all the good times we shared at the barn laughing, talking even crying together. Even though we went our separate ways I still thought about you and your horses. How you accomplished your goals in the show ring and in your career. I know you will be missed by many people. My you rest in peace

Words can't express the loss of this woman, your dreams will carry on and we will never forget you Signe! Prayers too family and friends especially her mother!!

My heart goes out to all of her family. I have known Signe forever and seen her many accomplishments in life. God bless all of you at this time.

Dear Signe,

I have the best memories of you from our time together at Lincoln-Way. You were such a sweet, sweet person. I am sorry you had to leave this world so young, but please know you left good memories with many. RIP sweet Signe.

To Signe's family, deepest condolences on the loss of your precious Signe. May the memories with her warm your hearts when you need them most.

Lovingly,

Brenda and family my deepest sympathy to you at this time your Signe was a magnificent loving child of God. May God embrace you and comfort you Each soul is a beautiful flower that passes from this earth only to bloom anew in Heaven's garden.

Prayers to your family during this time. Signe and me played tennis together in highschool. It's a shock to hear of her passing. She was a super sweet person.

My heartfelt sympathies and condolences are with you all.... Thank you for sharing your wonderful daughter and sister with all of us. All my memories with Signe with be cherished, always..... Love and hugs to all of you. No other words.... Rest in peace Sig...

So sorry to hear. Prayers to the family. May your cherished memories stay close to your heart forever. I remember working with Signe in the emergency room and was truly blessed to have known her.

Signe was a wonderful woman I meet her working in emergency room at Palos. She had the best work ethic. I admired her love and talent with her horses. I talked with her the week before she passed in her hospital room she fought to the end I'm sure. I hope she at peace with no fear and no pain. I will always remember her.

My deepest sympathy to the family and relatives, Signe will be missed. I had laughing and fun times with Signe, I will miss her, sincerely

Signe was a wonderful nurse. I worked with her at Palos in the ER. She always keeping things light but could be serious at the same time. She made me laugh and smile so many times. I am so deeply saddened by her passing and wish to extend my deepest condolences to her family .

Signe, I will keep you in my heart forever.

Signe... May you rest in Gods peaceful and loving arms for all eternity. Your smile will brighten the heavens as it did on earth. My deepest sympathies to your family but they now have a beautiful guardian angel to forever watch over them. Sleep well Sig.

I remember so many things about Signe in high school! I remember her most during double session for tennis. In August we had to practice for 3 hours in the morning, then we all went to lunch together, and then 2-3 hours after that. When we were all dying from running or burpees, she would be laughing and keeping our minds on other things! She had such a fun heart and spirit! I loved finding her on Facebook... she is not easy to find! We reconnected, and I got to "meet" her horses she had now.
I am sorry for her for the pain she had to endure and I can only imagine her making everyone else laugh while she was suffering.
Bless her family in these very difficult times.
