To My Chicago Family...
I Love you ALL, Youve always been a big part of my life.
When I think of Strena Sofie, so many words come to my mind, strong,hard working,
Generous, straight shooter, BINGO, loving, great wife, mother, baba, Strena. You taught me a lot about
Cooking the foods you made that I loved..you spoiled me when I visited, and more when you visited.
My husband Ken grew to love you as well, he loved sitting out on our porch with a coffee with you, just watching
The world outside...I pray you two share a cloud sometime,watching over us. I will be missing you just as much. I love you, R.I.P. and send my love to Cico as you reunite in your eternal life...xoxo
Love,
Cindy

You laid there in that hospital bed; you tried so hard to hold on. God was calling you home. He needed
another angel to help pour out the rain. Tears have fallen, hearts where shattered, but it was time for you to fly home. Your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes, to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed. As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed, God took another angel home. We will miss you Strena and know that you will forever be in our hearts and never be forgotten. We can cherish all the great memories we have had coming to visit you and the kindness you always showed us. Love you forever and always!! Marilyn and Neil Pottruff
