My boy. you were always my boy. I can’t stand how much I miss you.
Happy Birthday Preston.
Hey P, we sent your family some pictures and videos….my God how we were blessed with your presents while you were here. We miss you so very much, but I feel you in my heart. Each time I see an Eagle, Wolf, or Elk I think “there goes P doing his thing”…
I MISS YOU SOO SOOO SOOO MUCH..I STILL CANT BELIEVE YOUR GONE..I LOVE YOU
We thought of you today
But that is nothing new
We thought of you
yesterday and
will tomorrow,too
We think of you in silence
and make no outward show
for what it meant
to loose you
Only those who
love you know
Remembering you is easy
we do it every day
Its the the heartache
of loosing you
that will never go away
Memories are treasures
no one can steal
Death is a heartache
nothing can heal
some may forget you
now that your gone
but we will remember
no matter how long.
Your Mom and Vince
P.S. I love you Preston and so miss you. I’ve always been so proud of you.

Preston , let me start off saying that i Super miss you ! I remember when i First found out , i was in shock . It took me a minute to take it in , i sat there and searched everywhere on the internet to Find an Article . When i found it , i read it and broke down . But you knew that right ? You’re up there watching over me . I remember the first time i met you , You was with my Brother Vanrith . He told me that he was coming with someone that i didn’t know . And later we went to play pool and then went to eat at Dennys : Yummy , Remeber you didn’t wanna eat any cheese cake with us , but then you changed your mind because i was willing to feed you . Hahas , i miss you ! I miss a lot of things about you , You gave me so much Strength , but you know that . You Helped boost my self esteem . I still cry til’ this day . and When Vanrith told me the story of what happened , i broke down harder then i ever have before . I miss you Preston , You’ll always be my favorite WhiteBoy : Always and forever .
P.S ;
You know everytime i’m gonna do something bad , i always Pray to you and Larry and Ask you guys to Watch over me and Guide me to the right paths :
It’s not “good-bye” , It’s see you later :
Hey dude it’s vanrith here. Sorry it took a long time for me to get here and write to you, but im here now. So we had some really good times laughing constantly playing pool for ten hours straight, driving around and racing our cars haha. Fun times dude i remember you always talked like you was the best at harveys, that was hilarious getting alex mad. Hey we were the best around so that was no lie. I remember you showed me your bike and you let me ride it then you said “your the only one who rode it” thats pretty cool. overall i can sit here a talk about the old times for days but i’ll let our memories stay with us, remember when we see each other again we’ll play our favorite sport.

I loved Preston as if he was one of my own, as I did with all my sister’s children. I was very fortunate to have had a real close connection with Preston and to remember all the laughs and memories I have of him. I am going to miss his beautiful simle and him very much. Preston you are loved and missed so very much. You are and will always be in my prayers
RIP
your Aunt Molly
Andrea, Vince, Charlie & Daisy –
We all loved Preston very much. He will never be forgotten. Preston’s smile and gentle nature are gifts we will always treasure. Preston is now our angel. As a family we feel blessed to have had Preston in our lives.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way that you did today.
While thinking of the many things I didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand.
That an angel came and called me name and took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready in heaven far above.
And I would have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I had always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much left to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays. The good ones and the bad.
I thought of tall the time we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could re-live that day,
Just even for awhile.
Id say goodbye and kiss your lips and maybe see you smile.
So when tomorrow starts without me.
Don’t think were far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart!! <3
Oh Andy, I am so sorry that this has happened. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. If you need me please call me.
Terri

Preston I miss you so very much. I wish I could just hangout with you and laugh and talk memories and just hangout like we use to. I wish i could hug you one last time and see you smile, I know your watching over us because I still feel the strong connection we’ve always had. I want you to know you are more than a cousin to me you are a brother and my best friend. You’ll always be in my heart and on my mind, its crazy the things that remind me of you everywhere I look theres a memory and a story. Most of the time I just sit back and smile/cry and think of the past. There will always be a big piece of me missing until that day finally comes where I get to see you again. Though the pain still hurts from your loss I am grateful that your in a better place and in peace, Our family slowly but surely coming back together and I know that makes you. happy.

Remember when you turned 17 & I bought you a cake and Vanessa dropped it ? I was so mad that you and Larry didn’t get a piece that I cried ! Haha . But you told me it was fine because other than the cake spilling you had a good day . You gave me so many great memories , I wish you were here so we can make more memories together . I miss you so much Preston , I’m always thinking about you . My heart aches when i know I can’t see you or hear your voice . But everyone says your in a better place , i hope that’s true because I wish you were here instead . But wherever you are I hope they have a ton of Coca Cola , haha .
I love you Preston .

Happy birthday Preston. I miss you more and more as time passes. I would give anything to see you again. I miss all the stuff we use to do and the stuff we use to talk about. We would be up until morning talking about everything. I didn’t just lose my cousin I lost my best friend. No body could ever take your place. We should be bbqing right now and thinking of ways to pick on Larry. We should be headed off on one of our adventures that usually got I’d into trouble. Your my rock P, no matter what we were going threw in our lives we always had each other and could snap each other out of whatever it was. I always knew no matter who turnedtheir back on me that I always could count on you. You were there for me threw everything and always kept me going when all I wanted to do was give up. I appreciate you so much. I wish you were still here Preston. My life will never be the same now that your gone. Rest in peace baby boy I can’t thing of anyone that deserves to more than you. I love you and miss you with all my heart. Happy birthday
