A Heart Felt Condolences to the Stryker Family. Returning home to Shreve ‘67 from the Navy was neighbor’s to the Stryker Family. Then over the year’s our children went to Franklin Grade School & Triway with Ray&Peg’s Children. Ray always with a quick smile when we met and proud of his family with the Stryker tradition would always lend a hand. From Janet and I of Florida our best to all.
Oh Peg, I am so sorry. I just want you to know how much love for you lives in VA: more than words can say. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I feel so bad for the Stryker family for the loss of Raymond and Bob this year, and Maxine previously. And all three were such good people. Please take care of yourself, Dennis and Charlie. The world needs you.
Peggy and family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one Ray. The family are in our prayers and may God grant you the peace and comfort that only he can give at this very difficult time.
