Thoughts and prayers are with All the Family.
No one will ever know the full breadth and depth of how many lives Miss Presson touched and made a signifncant difference in. She was an amazing, wonderful lady who got me through some very dark days in my adolescence. Her door was always open; she always knew the right things to say and do, no matter the situation. Many mornings before school, I'd stop by her office just to chat and 'hang out' - she always seemed happy to see me and I spent quite a bit of time with her. She knew the meaning of unconditional love and acceptance - something I needed at the time. A life well-lived and a truly phenomenal human being. I've thought of her often - and remember how much she loved a nice car. She had a Buick Park Avenue that was always spotless; I loved that car almost as much as I loved her. Her passing leaves a huge hole in "What is right in this world."
Miss Presson was my next door neighbor as I grew up. As a small kid she was quite intimidating. But as I grew older and got to know her and miss Gertie (her mom) I enjoyed her kind and caring spirit.In HS she would tell me to listen to people who encourages me to follow my heart..."you can't go wrong."
When she heard of my ordination in 1996 she sent a card that simply said, "I see you followed you heart, congratulations."
Until we meet again,
Rev. Larry Thompson
