Darrell and Sherry,
We all miss Preston in one way or another. We try to remember the good times watching him grow when he was a little boy. May God bless and keep him.
JoAnn & Larry

I remember 2 little boys running thru my room, go carts sliding (Usually after someone would say "Watch this"), and baseball games that never ended. If it wasn't for Chadd and Preston I guess growing up would have been a lot less exciting. With those 2 around you never knew what might happen...

To all the people that have signed Prestons guest book. This is his Aunt Michelle. I cannot tell you how much we miss this precious boy. What I can tell you is that each of you has helped nore than you will ever know. To know that Preston touched your lives gives me strength. A simple Thank You is just not enough. If ever you need to talk my email address is [email protected]. To my sister Sherry: I love you!

Sherry, your a very strong person and I know you can get through this. You have a HUGE support group and if you need anything at all please dont hesitate to call. As far as work I think youll do just fine It will help you keep your minde off things. Tristan said he loves you and wants to come see you Ill bring him by as soon as I get a chance. Love you!

Hi Mrs. Sherry, Thank you for your email. Your son will always have a special place in my heart. He always made me smile and was very respectful to me. My brother is Randy and we went to school with him at NCS and SHS. I will miss him more than you know. I am a mother myself and I can not image the pain you and your family are going through. Please trust in the Lord that he will be here with you through this time. I would really like to speak with you, my email is [email protected] or you can call me at 843-926-0030. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts now and in the future.

To the parents of Preston,
I didn't know Preston but my kids were close to him and knew him well. I want to send out my deepest condolences. I cannot imagine what you are going through and hope I never will. I see how affected my kids are by your loss and it tears me up. Thank you for raising such a great young man. He obviously had many, many friends, I'm sorry I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him. But my children had the pleasure of having him in their lives. Thank you for that. Again, I'm very sorry for your loss. Donna (mother of Matthew and Brooke Willis)

My thoughts and prayers go out to everybody that was touched by Preston. I have the fondest memories with him at Parks Field and watching him play basketball. God really need a wonderful angel. He was the type of guy that when you just met it was like you have been friends for years. I will never forget him, his memories will always live on. May god be with all. I love you preston! We will see each other again one day.

Sherry and Darrell,
you know i truly understand what you are going through right now, please please contact me if i can help you through this,i am here for you. I remember Preston as a 3 year old when i first worked with you -
we just have to believe that God called our children home early for a reason. One day maybe we will understand. Your happy memories of Preston growing up into the much loved young man that he became, this will help you through.

Sherry:

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You know I love you with all my heart. Sherry, I am here for you.

Dear Sherry- You may not remember me, I am Sherry Lee's mother. So so sorry to hear about your loss. Our words cannot comfort--only our Lord and His Word can help to do that. Just trust Him to get you through this. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. Stay close to friends and family.

Dear Sherry,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Preston's passing. You and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Bill & Mary Ann Ridenour

Sherry,
We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your son. There is no greater loss than that of a child. May God give you the strength to bring you through this. Please accept our deepest sympathy over your loss.
Kathy and Wingate Kimbrough

Preston,
Somehow I believe you'll get to this.

All these people have so much to say to you man, they miss you, they care about you.

But I'll just let ya know that one day we will all be up there with you. Maybe you'll still wanna ride that bike. We'll be right there with you riding on those smooth roads.

Take care man, you'll be missed by all of us.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and know that he is always with you to comfort you in the darkness.

Dear Ms. Sherry and family,
I am so very sorry of your loss. I cannot imagine what you are going through and feeling. I too, have only one child, which is a son. His name is Jason Ward and he works with you at the bank. We as parents expect to leave our children behind after we pass and we're ok with that, but when it doesn't happen like that we want to know how could this be and why - it's not suppose to be this way. Unfortunately, right now only God knows the answers to those questions.
I will pray that God will somehow give you and your family some sort of comfort and strength while you are going through this terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to you.
Ruthie Ward

Your family is in our prayers.

With sympathy,

Preston** I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song,
seems like we just got started and then before you know it...
the times we had together were gone. You're like the stars in the sky, even though we can't always see you, we know your always there. I knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry. RIP* I want you to tell me what it's like on the other side of the clouds.. You're in a better place, but forever missed!
