To the Pruden Family:
I am sorry for your loss. I went to school with Paul. He was actually in my sister, Veronica’s class. I always wondered where Paul was. I remember him as such a nice, good looking boy in school. I don’t know what happened but know that is how I remember Paul. I looked him up in my annual & saw his picture & thought back to the days we went to school. We also rode the same school bus. You are in my thoughts & prayers. May God bless you in the days ahead as only He can. I also remember Doris who was in a class above me. I was Class of 74. I hope I hear something about what happened but if not God will give you strength I pray. He knows when we hurt & can comfort the pain. God bless you. Teressa Tipton Warren
Dear family,
It seems I have known you guys all my life. We grew up in the same church and in the same community. We went to Bible School together and Glenn is one of my best friends. My prayers are with you guys.
Love,
Chris Fortune
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was just looking for the obituary for my cousin and saw this. I’m married to David Ernest Pruden and was counselor at EHS when Paul was a well liked, handsome young man. I am so sorry to learn of his death some time back. David and I wish we had been more connected to the Clarke Pruden part of the family. He and David were first cousins. David’s father was Everett Van Houton Pruden.
