I grew up down the street from the Pressnells.  Laura and I have been friends since we were kids.  As I look at Mr. Pressnells photos, I see what a full and happy life he lived. I remember him from riding my bike all over College Hill as a kid and I would always see Mr.  Pressnell working, driving a truck, providing for his family, because that's the kind of father he was.  He was a perfect example of what we need more of today.  I was just a kid back then but, he was a role model for all of us kids in that neighborhood.  May your many memories sustain you.  I'm still praying for all of you.
God Bless You,
Tammie Combs Burton

I am very sad to hear your gone. It was soo nice to meet you as a part of my family I have never met before. Realizing after our encounter at the hospital your my Grandfathers brother.

I was so sorry to hear about the death of your dad.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

An angel appeared in the clouds tonight, letting us know that you're alright.
We know that you're in heaven looking down on us, and not wanting us to make a fuss.
We know God came and took you to his glorious place, but that doesn't mean our hearts don't ache.
We will miss you more as days go by, and when we think of you we will cry.
Till we all meet in heaven on that glorious day, there's something we all want to say.
We will love you more as each day goes on, and will see you again we God calls us all home.
So we are not going to say goodbye but will see you again in that beautiful home up in the sky.

Love you always and forever!
Chris, Melissa and Ashley Pressnell
