We are very saddened to hear about the loss of Preston. The last time we had a chance to visit with Preston was at Dawn’s graduation for her Master’s in Religion. Preston walked over to say hello and we laughed over really some fun and joyful college memories. We’re so glad that we had the opportunity to visit with him for that brief moment. Preston was truly remarkable and I’m so thankful God allowed us to know him. Praying for peace and healing for your family.
