I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget sitting in Myrna's courtyard one evening, under the stars, and talking with Deena about her many travels. What an adventurous spirit! I know she leaves a void in your lives, and I am grieving her loss with you. You are in my prayers and on my heart.

I remember when I first met Mrs. Strome at an ALA meeting. My initial impression was that she was most gracious and friendly and I continued to have that same opinion years later. We had many conversations each time we saw each other at a meeting. She and Dr. Strome were an exceptional couple who were devoted to each other and to their family. I offer my sincere condolences to the Strome family and I know they will truly miss this gem of a lady. May God provide you with the comfort and fond memories I know you have.

Dr Strome and Family -
So sorry to hear of your loss. Deena wanted me to do the 3 day with her - I'm still having problems doing 3 miles - guess I'll have to do it sometime in the future in her honor.
