Mr. Strait was a loving and compassionate man who was kind to me and I appreciated every moment I had spent with him. Over the years his good nature spoke volumes and it was apparent that he cared about you just by his mannerisms and the way he communicated. He's passed on and in a beautiful place now.

My cousin John, I have so many memories growing up of us and family. One of my favorite was on Christmas Day! After dinner you took Jamie and I to see the very first movie of Raiders of the lost Ark. I thought that was the coolest thing. I didn’t even know they had movies on Christmas Day! You always touched so many hearts! God Bless you and your family!
