Patricia Carrie Strayer

To the Strayer family,
My heart goes out to you in this time of grief. I lived next door to Pat from 1993-2003. She was a wonderful nieghbor. She used to let me come over after school and play in the pasture with Josie. Pat had the biggest heart and she and I both had a strong love for animals. I actually applied to be a volunteer at the southwest Michigan SPCA after I heard about her death. I feel it is the best way for me to remember her and help animals at the same time. She will be...

Carol,Susan, Gigi,
I read about Patty and wanted to send my condolences. I think of your family often. As I think back, I can remember many of the good times along with the bad. Your Mom and Dad were very special people that I will never forget. My dad used to call your dad "Crazy Legs Strayer". While I only remember Patty as a little girl, I am sure your parents would have been proud of her and you as well. I hope that this will help you remember the good times. Your family has been...

Dear Carol:

Paul and I can only imagine your grief. We pray that you will find strength to deal with this tragedy. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Carol, Susan, and Gigi,

My heart goes out to you at this time of shock and grief. The loss of a sister...a sister! My prayers are with you as you progress day by day to the new reality. My hopes are for you to take joy that Pat and Matt are together, as you shall all be one day, in happier times in the future, a time where everyone will be healthy, happy, and at peace.

Take care of yourselves,

Dear Carol, Susan, and Gigi,
Even though I never met your sister Patty, I feel as though I know her well from her beautiful picture and the wonderfully written article. Her many artistic talents and love for animals indicate she was a very special person. Carol, from what I've recently learned about "Rainbow Bridge", I have a feeling that is exactly where she is now. My heart goes out to you all as you grieve yet another loss in your family. With love, Nola Batch

Dear Susie and Gigi and the rest of the Strayer family - We were your neighbors, we grew up with you, we remember Matt being able to walk, being in braces, being in a wheel chair and finally passing. We remember your Mom's illness and her passing and your Dad's passing. As a family you have been through a tremendous amount here on earth. Now you have another loss - your dear Patty. Our Hearts and Prayers and Thoughts go out to you at this very difficult time. May God Bless You All, Keep...

You will always be remembered here as Erin, and sadly missed by your friends in PA. Nancy, Jeremiah and Molly

Our world will NEVER be the same. My deepest condolences to all that will miss her,including our 4-legged friends.
