Priscilla, such a beautiful woman. I will always remember the first time I met you. We were at your son John's house outside adoring the twin towers he built. I'm sure you thought I was a crazy lady with all the chit chatting I did.
You will be missed by so many people that are left behind here on earth. I'm leaving you with one last little sniff in your ear and a giggle. RIP Priscilla.
Love you,
Kim ;-)

"When we lose someone we love, We learn to trust somehow. That a new life in a brighter place, Is just beginning now. A place of grace and peace and joy, Beyond all time and sorrow. Where loving hearts who part today, Will meet again tomorrow." May you rest in peace Nana Priscilla and to all the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. She truly was a wonderful woman.

To the Martinez family,
I was blessed the day you moved across the street from my family! I did not know or understand the fullness of those blessings until Priscilla passed. It was then I realized that she taught me patience and the importance of it in marriage and family. She displayed unconditional love to ALL of you, much like Christ does for all of us. May peace and comfort that only the Holy Spirit offer, find you. Your mother is walking on streets of gold that were paved for her...in a place that is so beautiful that our minds cannot conceive its beauty! I encourage you all to read the scriptures that describe heaven and its beauty. It is amazing to think she is there with the angels who are rejoicing her arrival!!! I love you all, see you tonight.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
