Enjoyed talking with Prue about the lane family history.
I am so sorry I just saw where Prue had passed. I so enjoyed talking with him while I mowed his yard for years. Him and his wife both were the sweetest people. I had been thinking about him lately too. May he Rest In Peace and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family.
We attended Candlestick Church with your parents many yours ago and they were the sweetest couple. Ms. Lelia invited me to their house and taught me how to sew a little handkerchief that she gave to all the new babies and Mr. Prue made us a wooden nameplate that still sits on the mantle. I think of him every time I dust. He always had a big smile and was fun to be around. Please accept our condolences and know we are praying for your family.
We are so sorry to hear of Prue’s passing. He was a wonderful husband, father, paw paw. I was blessed to have in our family. He was a wonderful friend. He loved making swings along with other things made with lumber. Loved playing Dominoes. Will miss him.
