Dear Shirley and family,

I just recently learned of the passing of Pres. His passing has made me reflect not only on this wonderful man but on how he shaped me as a young man. His influence, especially as my scout master, helped make me who I am through much of my life. May the Lord be with you during these times.

Forever grateful,
Earl Leeman

Dear Shirley and Family,
We were so sorry to read of Pres' passing. What a wonderful life he lived - full of service to our country, to your family and to the Lord. The number of missions he served is astounding. And you, Shirley were a part of so many of those missions. We remember Pres and your family from years ago when we first moved into our home on Delia Drive. You were always to kind to us and we felt your love. You children and grandchildren have a great legacy from your father and grandfather. We send to each of you our love and admiration and sympathy for your loss. Aren't we grateful for the gospel and what we know about where Pres is and that you will all be together again one day.
Love ,
Bruce and Pat Lake

Dear Shirley and family,

I was sad to learn of Preston's passing, but thankful that I was honored to know the two of you. I shall never forget your warmth and kindness to me and my children. Preston's life will always stand as a model of love and compassion.

May God bless and comfort you in the knowledge that he was a man widely admired, one whom the rest of us can look to as truly great.

Love,

Richard

Dear , dear Shirley and family,
I am so sorry for your loss!! In reading the obituary, it is evident that the world has lost a great hero! He served his country, his family, his community, and his God in heroic proportions! No one deserves the appellation, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant!" more than this good, good man. He was a blessing to so many!
Praying that the peace he knew as a true disciple will attend you!

Love,

Kathryn Cahoon
