Dear editor,

We would like to take the time to sincerely thank everyone who came out to support our family in a time of tragedy.

Over the past week, our family has been truly overwhelmed by the love and compassion from the Clanton community.

Our family would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has reached out and supported our family in this time of need.

Preston Salim was an outstanding son, brother, uncle and friend.

We will miss him each and every day. I am sure he would be proud to know that his friends and neighbors were there for his family in our time of need.

Thank you all again,

The family of Preston Salim
