My deepest sympathies to all of you. We loved Preston and our hearts are broken. Preston and the twins had a bond from the day of birth as they shared a stay in the nursery at Greenville Hospital and then went on to be classmates. Sara and Samantha referred to Preston as their triplet. I personally will never forget that sweet, devilish grin of his. Prayers for you.
Brenda, Sara and Samantha Stevenson

We are so very sorry for your loss, Preston was an absolutely amazing young man and it was our pleasure to have the opportunity to become a part of your extended family and get to know him. You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers… Love you…
Preston was always able to make me laugh. In fact, I’m not sure that i ever saw HIM when he wasn’t smiling or laughing. That is how i will remember him…and I’m fairly certain, that is how we all will. I’m thankful that collin was lucky enough to have a friend like Preston. I know that the memories that he has of Him, he will hold near to his heart. I’m certain they will bring smiles and happiness for a very long time of the friendship that they shared.
My prayers are with you, and i am always here….I am so very sorry for your loss
