To All Family Members

I took this one hard. In fact, I'm still trying to process it. I knew Preston as a person quite well, and in many ways shared a lot in common with him. I knew of his struggles but what I admired about him was his good heart. Despite his struggles with addiction, and all this entails, his heart remained good and he was a good person. I think this is what makes it so hard to process for me, because the world needs more good people, not less. If and when there is a ceremony of life I would like to attend, to pay my respects and to celebrate the good person I knew. In the meantime, I will be lighting a candle and saying a prayer for him/his spirit in the afterlife, at a place I know he would love, because it is open and free.

My utmost condolences to all his family and friends. If any of you wishes to speak with me regarding my relationship with Preston, I would be more than glad to speak with you.

Please keep me informed as to the celebration of life as I would like to take part.

Sincerely

Preston's family

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I met Preston when we were both students at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the mid 1980s. We became fast friends and were quite close for a short time. He was a bright, talented and compassionate man. I regret that I lost touch with him over the years. Rest in peace.
