Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I have lots of great memories of Robert over the years. I remember when I was very young playing at the motel when my dad was helping with the construction of the motel rooms with Robert and B.R.. My dad always said that Robert was the hardest working man that he had ever known! My sympathy is with the family in this your time of grieving. Sincerely, Steve Hunt
Papa I love you and I miss you. I hope I make you proud
Our thoughts and prayers are with ya’ll. Uncle Robert will surely be missed. Love Phil & Debbie Wheeler.
You have made him proud already! We love you! Pastor Todd

Lit a candle in memory of Robert Linwood Pridgen
Mr. Pridgen was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. I know he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
Robert was a very special and unique contractor and friend. His floors were always the best and very very pretty. Someone I could count on to produce quality product that both he and our company were proud to present to our customer. His stories he always had were a treat to listen to. Robert, thank you for the memories. R.I.P. brother, you deserve it.
Alton, so sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family.
Lisa and Robbie, we are so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family’s healing. Denzil and Karen Clagg West Wilson Church of God
I would like to express my condolences to the Pridgen family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, meditating on Jehovah`s promises in his word the Bible can be very comforting-1 Cor. 13-5. Rev 21 4, 5 lets us know that death will be no more, along with no more mourning, outcry, tears and pain. These words are faithful and true, because Jehovah doesn’t lie-Titus 12. By The ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can look forward to seeing our loved ones by means of a resurrection-John 528, 29. May your have peace and be comforted!
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. While you are preparing to lay your loved one to rest, to sleep for a little while in death(John 1111), I hope you will find comfort in knowing that soon Jesus’ promise of the resurrection will be fulfilled; when he will awaken those who are sleeping in death, restoring them back to life, to live eternally on the Paradise earth.-John 528,28; Luke 2343. Until that blessed promise is fulfilled; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort.during this time of sorrow.-Matthew54.
