I recall my aunt Yolande being the coolest aunt! One cool thing is that she loved her two sons so much and she loved their wives just as much! One son was Ronnie and the other JW! She would always tell us they were the best sons a mother could have! Ronnie went on to be a good husband to Shirley and a wonderful father to three kids, Jeff, Kirk and Vicki! Also, Ronnie and my dad, Nailes Prejean loved to fish and often they would try to beat each other out! We all have such fun memories of Ronnie, and those memories will carry you through the future, but he will be missed deeply! We are thinking of you and your family!

I love you paw paw! I will take good care of your boat. I remember the wonderful summers fishing with you in the boat. Boiled eggs, vianna sausage and saltine crackers never tasted better than with you! The many times you told me to leave the bait out there and stop reeling it in, your gunna drown the minnow! I loved it when you would cast that line out and just before it hit the water you would make that wonderful sound.... Baou! I miss you already and I wish I could have been there more often to spend time with you and Maw Maw. I love you so much Paw Paw. You will be greatly missed!
