Bonnie & family,
I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I am praying for your peace and comfort.
I am so sorry for your loss and wish I could be there to give you a big hug. I remember all the nights I spent the night and your parents always treated me like part of the family.
I have many fond memories of being in the Stracener home. Mrs Stracener was always such a kind sweet lady and will be missed by many. My thoughts go out to all her family during this time that will especially miss her.
The world is a little darker with the loss of our dear sister in Christ but we look forward to the resurrection and that grand reunion.
Marie was a sweet lady and a friend to everyone. She was always pleasant and cheerful. She will be missed.
