Dear Doshie and family:

I was very sadden to hear of Preston's passing.  However, I know that he is rejoicing in heaven with our Lord and Savior.

I know that you and your family will miss him and so will I.  I enjoyed working with you and Preston regarding your sister, Edith.

You both were such an inspiration to me.

God Bless you during this difficult time.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the passing of Preston. Of all the years I have known him, I found him to be a great pastor, friend and preacher with a superb example of what a Christian is. Doshie, I know you will deeply miss him but I know for sure that you will have a glorious reunion and joyous occasion down the road. He always treated me with the upmost respect as if I was always family. I so greatly appreciate the family and those of his church that have given so much.

Karen, David and family - I'm so very sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Didn't know that anyone could quote the Bible and/or preach for five hours while riding in a car for 300 miles, all the while munching on snacks.  But Preston could.  Guess I needed to hear it.  I'm going to miss him.  Joe (Junior) Ball

Even though we live states apart I still think of you all often. I love remembering the times you all came to Kentucky for vacation at Big Mommy's & Big Daddy's.  I'll be praying for you all because I love you and I know that Uncle Preston being gone is a hurt that only God can help you with. Maybe we will see each other someday soon.
Hold onto the LORD for strength.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Ball family. Brother Ball was a loving and wonderful man of God. He has been a great inspiration to me and my family throughout the years. His loyalty to the Air Street COG over the years is greatly appreciated and his steadfast faith in his Savior has not gone unnoticed. I have never heard anything bad spoken of Brother Ball, only praises. I am joyful in knowing that he is rejoicing with his Heavenly Father at this time (something he spoke of many times with great assurance), but he will still be greatly missed until we meet him again. Prayers go out to all of the family.

Doshie,
Our prayers are with you and the rest of the family at this time.  Preston was a great man of God and he will be missed.  We know that he is in a better place, resting under the altar of God.  God bless.  Dennis and Joyce Scott and Virginia Fuson.

Don't recall if i met the man, but he did a fine job of raising davey. Not many people lived as long of a life.  But we are all lucky that we had a chance as he did..
