Not sure what to say?

I´m sorry to learn of Preston´s passing. I knew him well in High School but lost track after that. We had great times together ...

We enjoyed spending time with you and Preston during our visit to Portland. We especially enjoyed the Jazz music! All the best, Mary Drotar and Kathy Morrissy

Dear Judy, I am hoping you remember George and me from yoga class at DAYA. We just learned of Preston's death today and I want to express our sincere condolences. Although I didn´t know either of you well, it was clear to me that you were good and kind people who accepted the life sentence of Parkinson´s with grace and dignity. With sympathy and gratitude, Marilyn and George Veomett

We feel so blessed to have connected with Preston and with Judy through the Alternative Approaches to Parkinson's Disease support group. We were inspired by their curiosity and courage, as well as their senses of humor as we all worked to navigate the challenges of PD. Our hearts are with all of you who are grieving Preston's loss.

Dear Judy, How sad it must be to let Preston go. He was such a gem. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings together with you both. We're sorry for your loss. We hold you and your family in our hearts and send warm love and hugs. Sue & Steve
