OPEN LETTER TO LANORA AND ANDRA STRAIT

"It was torture to see him hurting, that's torture," Strait's daughter Lanora said. "Losing him is hard, but he's not hurting anymore." NOTE TO LANORA: IT'S TORTURE FOR THE REST OF US WHO HAVE TO SEE STORIES LIKE THIS AND ATTRIBUTE THE POSSIBILITIES OF RAPE AND ETC. TO OUR OWN ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS. GROW BALLS AND GET ANGRY. IF YOU DON'T IT IS AN INSULT TO THEIR MEMORY AS WELL AS THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR US IN WWII AND LIVED THROUGH IT. RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL, CALL ALL LOCAL RADIO AND TV STATIONS. SPREAD THE STORY TO ABC, CBS, NBC AND GET ON DATELINE, WRITE A BOOK, VISIT DC AND DEMAND TO SEE THE PRESIDENT REGARDING BLACK ON WHITE CRIME, HAVE YOUR WHOLE FAMILY FLY OUT TO THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN AND PROTEST OR PICKET, HAVE YOUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS COMPOSE A BILL REGARDING ELDER RAPE OR ELDER ABUSE AND CRIME. YOU NOW HAVE A PLATFORM, DO SOMETHING WITH IT. They both believe Bob died as a direct result of being attacked and believe the man in custody should be charged with two murders. NOTE TO LANORA AND ANDRA: DO NOT REST UNTIL TYRONE WOODFORK PAYS FOR THIS CRIME. FIGHT. IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED AND TIRED, SCREW IT. GET ANGRY INSTEAD. "I believe Daddy would still be with us if he hadn't killed mom," Andra said. "He broke daddy's jaw so he couldn't eat, broke his ribs so he couldn't get up and move around. We did get him up to watch the Braves game, but he even lost that joy." NOTE TO LANORA AND ANDRA: YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER WERE TERRORIZED. GET ANGRY. RE-READ THE ACCOUNT OF THIE BRUTALIZATION MANY TIMES. GET ANGRY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. They hate their mother's last moments on earth were filled with terror and their father's with sorrow but take comfort in the memories and legacy the couple leaves behind. NOTE TO LANORA AND ANDRA: GOOD START. HATE. MOM'S LAST MOMENTS FILLED WITH TERROR? MAKES ME F-ING ANGRY, HOW ABOUT YOU? GO BE PRODUCTIVE. SEE ABOVE. Nancy was known for her gracious hospitality, homemade jams and quilts. Bob was known for his woodworking talents, making airplanes and cabinets for his kids and grandkids. NOTE TO LANORA AND ANDRA: QUILTS FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THAT IS RIGHTEOUS. DO SOMETHING NOW AND DO NOT SLEEP UNTIL SOME KIND OF JUSTICE IS REACHED. "He's asleep," Andra said. "No more pain, no more sorrow for his part. It's what he wanted. He wanted to be where mom was and he'll be buried with mama." NOTE TO LANORA AND ANDRA: HES ASLEEP? BURIED WITH MAMA? GROW UP GIRLS AND GET YOUR DADDY'S BOOTS ON. WHAT WOULD HE DO IF HE COULD? FIGHT? YOU HAVE THE PROOF. HE WAS A FIGHTER. BE MORAL. EXERT RIGHTEOUSNESS. GOD WILL REPAY, BUT DO NOT WASTE THIS HORIFFIC OCCURRENCE. GET ANGRY. DO SOMETHING WITH WHAT GOD ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO YOU. HELP THE REST OF US..WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS...
