Bart and Dawn, I'm so sorry for this incredible loss. Uncle Stroud was one of the sweetest men I've ever been blessed to know. I loved him immensely and always will hold him close to my heart.
He showed up by my side in a moment that I was very vulnerable, completely unexpectedly, and opening my eyes ms seeing him there was like seeing a beautiful guardian angel. I'll never forget that he did that. That's a piece of him that I'll hold dearly forever. God bless you all♥ï¸
