I was so saddened to hear of her passing tonight. My mom lives down the hall from where she was and tonight mom said "she was a courageous woman". This is true but I will really miss her wit and smile and that wonderful laugh! She was truly a treasure and will live on in so many people. God bless.

I went to Wake Forest with Mr. and Mrs. Stroupe's son, Danny, and he is also my brother-in-law. A good friend and a great brother-in-law.
Although I only met Mrs. Stroupe from time to time, she is a gracious Southern lady with always a kind word. I will miss her deeply.

I loved Ms. Geneva and considered her my friend. You are a very precious family! I know she is in heaven busy as a bee, as she always like to stay busy with her puzzles. I will remember you in my prayers in the days ahead! May God bless each of you.
