Dear Preston Family

Our deepest condolences to each and every one of you during this time of loss. If mere words could erase your hurt and pain we would wish them to your ears. But when the life of someone who was so loved and appreciated is gone, its even difficult to hear. So we pray for deep comfort and the peace which passes all understanding. May your family and friends draw near to you as continue to remember the life of your Husband, Father, Brother, and Dear Friend. 


To Brenda and Family,

On behalf of the Matthews and Solone family of Huntsville, Alabama, our deepest condolences to you. 

You are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Blessings And Peace.



                                                                         “Your Line Brother of 1967”
Several long days have passed since you departed. You left, but you remain in us. You took a part of us when you departed, but the part you left, compensates— over compensates—our loss.
Oh, how we loved our brother. You have left us, but you left us hope.
You have left us, but you left us trust and trusting.
You have left us, but you left us strength.
Several days have passed. Several long days, you left us in tearful sadness, but my brother, the memories you left us, we will always cherish.
                                                                                                    Your Line Brothers😢🙏🏽❤️💔

Carlton was a dear friend of mine at DC Teachers college.  We were both History majors and enjoyed the long discussions we had as we walked between the two buildings.  We lost touch when we graduated but I'm happy to see he was happy with a big family and retired. I ask God to rest his soul and to bring comfort to his wife and kids during this "valley experience" of his home going.  

We are praying for the family during this difficult time. May God continue to comfort you now and forever.

Rest in peace Carlton Preston, you will be missed.

Our thoughts and Prayers to Brenda and family of Carlton, sending Prayers of Comfort and Condolences.  May God give you strength in time of need during this difficult time. Thanks for the wonderful talks we had at EEOC and thanks for the many ride you gave me to EEOC so I would be on time for work.  I realized that you went out of your way to do a favor for me.   R.I.P Carlton

We met Carlton  in 1964 while attending D.C. Teacher's College.  Carlton was a dear friend, and he, Brenda, and Mark were like family to us.  Over the years we have spent numerous  hours,  days, and weeks together that were always enjoyable.   He always impressed us with his devotion to family and education.  He worked full time while earning his  B. S. and law degrees.  He was totally devoted to his immediate family, relatives,  and friends.  Carlton was a true friend that could be relied upon in any situation.  We miss him dearly.  Love,  Pat,  James, Lance, and Doni




Bro Pres, I'll always remember our 51 years of friendship, both as a frat brother and good friend. I'll miss our phone conversations, monthly luncheons and occasional travels. Rest in peace, my brother. You will be truly missed.
