I first met Ms.Strayhorne back in 1968 after moving to Durham and when we obtained our mortgage for our home from Mutual Community Savings and Loan Bank. We remained friends throughout her life. I found her to be a very pleasant and also an engaging business like person to work with.

Please accept our very sincere condolences.
