I’m lost without you, Presidential Father of mine.
Julie, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart. Please give your mom, brother and sisters a big hug from me. Sending healing thoughts and prayers.
Jim was a very close and personal friend, along with his brothers and sisters. We spent a lot of our post high school and military days together. Such a quick whited Jar Head, I care and am proud to be his friend… The Strawn family were and still are caring,, giving, special people. Truly a clan I’ll never forget . I pray he is comfortable. RIP my brother
RIP Governor
