Dear Willams Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Preston and I graduated from Curtis together and I hadn't seen him in several years. I believe the last time was at a get together at Barry's house in 99. Preston drew me a cartoon back when we were in the ninth grade and I still have it. He always had such talent. I certainly will pray for you all and please accept my sincerest condolences.

Sheila, Murray,
I was very saddend when I learned of the loss of your son, Preston. I am so sorry. At this time, I don't believe there any words we humans can say to make it better or fix it for you. Only God can help you gain the strength to get thru something like this. But you can know that your friends and relatives are thinking of you and praying for you and your family during this trying time. I count myself as one of these. You have been in my thoughts constantly since I learned of your tragedy.

Preston's family:
We are Brad's parents and were saddened to hear of Preston's passing. He was a fine man and a great influence on our son. We enjoyed meeting and visiting with Preston when we stopped to see Brad. We have included your family in our prayers and know that God can give you comfort at this time.

Dear Christy and the Williams,
I am so saddened to hear of your loss. I have 3 children, the youngest one of them being a 5 year old son. To think of what he would think not to have me to hug and kiss everyday brings me to tears. I once commented to Preston that I rarely heard christian music on many job sites as I usually did on his jobs. That alone was part of his living testimony. May God bless you and guide you in the days to come.

Dear Christy,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Preston, It seems so unreal. Your husband had been working with me and my husband for over two years designing our new home. It was obvious how much you and the kids meant to him, he spoke of you always. He even mentioned the big tree on your new property that you both could not get your arms around even when linked together. Please be encouraged for the love he had for you and the children was the same love he had for his Heavenly Father...Eternal.

Dearest Murray -- our co-worker and friend -- and Family,
Just a note to tell you how heavy our hearts for you and your family. We can only imagine that incredible pain of losing a child, a husband, a father, a friend. Only the Lord can heal the wound. Our prayer is that Jesus will cradle your hearts...that His love, mercy and grace will be a healing balm to the soul....comfort in the midst of the storm of life...strength for the weary...hope for tomorrow.
With kindest regards,
Fannie Sullivan and Susan James

I went to elementary school with Preston at Curtis Baptist and was reacquainted with him as adults at First Baptist. I pulled out our second grade class picture today and you could tell by the big smile on his face that he was up to something that day! I know you will miss him terribly..my prayers are with all of you.
