I love the Stradlings!
Our beautiful daughter-in-law, Becky is the daughter of Virginia & Melvin Stradling. Since we met the Stradlings as Todd & Becky were planning their marriage in November 2001, we have grown to love & admire them more and more each time we come in contact with them. It is easy to see why Becky (aptly named: Rebecca Delight) is such a sweet & delightful addition to our family.
Recently our good friend & mother, Virginia, passed away after an 8-month battle with lung cancer. Throughout her illness, the Stradling family demonstrated the same faith and gratitude for all their blessings as they have always done in their lives. Even at her funeral, Melvin & all their children were expressing gratitude to everyone else for any little thoughtfulness or service that might have been rendered to them.
Often times through the years, we would meet some mutual acquaintance who shared our same opinion of what wonderful friend and examples the Stradlings were to them. They have served faithfully in many leadership callings with Virginia serving as Relief Society President at least 3 times and wife & supporter to Melvin as he served as Bishop.
We will miss the personal contact of Virginia and hope to live our lives in a way that will enable us to resume our relationship with her & her family when we are reunited on the other side of the veil.
