To the Preston family: my deepest sympathy to you. My mom was neighbors with Patty and Larry way back in the 70's. You could never know better or finer people. I remember the girls when they were very young. I last saw Patty when I became a nurse. I saw Larry @Mercy Hospital as well.my daughter and Lynn used to play together when we came out to Mosier Rd.!I remember what a lovely family the Preston's were and I'm sure still are! God bless and prayers to the all.
