Ms.Prentis, You may not remember me but you know my daughter, Sharon Mosby. I met douglas when he first finished school and was working with Virginia. He took good care of my hair until I moved to N.C. I always went to him when I came home for a visit. He was so precious and sweet. If Douglas was your friend, you had a friend for life. I will always remember him. May God continue to bless you and your family.

To the Prentis family,

Even tho it's been so long since we've seen each other I haven't forgotten you and the years we spent waiting for the school Bus and playing together as we were growing up. I loved you all then and I love you all now, I wish I could say something to ease your pain. Just put you trust in God and He will see you through.

Stewart and the Prentis Family



My heart goes out to you and your family during your time of sorrow. I had no idea that Doug was your brother. Just goes to show that the world is truly small. Doug was truly a pioneer in the hair business and surely will be missed. Seek solace in the Lord knowing that he is the great comforter.
