TOLEDO, Ohio (WUPW) - Two families, on two sides of town both gathered for one purpose Tuesday night... to remember.
It was a tough day for members of both families knowing that just a year ago, their beloved John and Lisa were both taken from them far too soon at the ages of 20 and 21.
The Straub family and friends met at Quimby's in Downtown Toledo to remember Lisa over food and drinks, while the Clarke family and friends visited Johnny's grave site.
"It's not a charitable event tonight, we're not fundraising or anything. We're just trying to get together to remember Lisa and Johnny for who they were, and not everything else that happened," said Mike Levy, a friend of Lisa's.
"It's damaging, and it doesn't get any better," explained Johnny's cousin, Jazz Cromer. "But, we just have one thing to look forward to, and that's justice being served, and keeping his memory alive. I know I'll never forget," he said.
Family members and friends say it will be hard to forget the horrific way the two were taken from them.
The couple was found dead with their hands bound and plastic bags over the heads. Three people have been charged in connection with this case.
