Absent from the body is to be present with the lord...

I have been in total silence, what words can you express when you hear about the loss of a true friend, outstanding musician. This was a great loss to the Memphis community and blues community around the nation. Saw Preston in September and was able to share a word of encouragement. Sending prayers to the family of Preston Shannon. Another angel has earned his wings.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So he put His arms around you and whispered
"come to me"
Rest in Peace Preston.

In loving memory of my husband- your loving wife.
