I've known Signe for over 50 years, but it was in these last years when I got to know her even more. My job (driving truck) took me through Cromwell once a week. I'd stop and visit and she would tell me her stories in her aging voice, of her life, her past. Often when I stopped she would be reading the newspaper with a magnifying glass, trying to keep tabs on life in the bigger world. She would invite me into the lunchroom and introduce me to her friends. Once in awhile she would see that I had a bite to eat. Sometimes when I stopped they would be doing karaoke and we would sing old songs, like Sweet Adeline. Sometimes a person would play a guitar and we would sing along. I would leave there knowing I had another connection to my sister and brother-in-law, Fran & Den. Signe will be missed
