Mrs. Healey was one of a kind....a tremendous athlete, adventurer, and motivator. I still have the note she sent me when I was a freshman at UNH. She wrote to congratulate me on our lacrosse team's national championship. Even though I was a bench player, she made me feel like I was an All American hero. It was a privilege to be at her funeral today and to be inspired, once again, by the life she led. God bless you Priscilla and your family.

Truly one of "Greats", Priscilla was an inspiration to everyone who knew her and a barrel of laughs too. I will miss her a lot... And quote her forever! We were all so lucky to have shared her talents, wisdom and wonderful personality. A shining star!

Priscilla was a wonderful person. I remember all the good times that she and your dad would have with my mom and dad up at Wampatuck CC . They were all such good friends . Maybe they are golfing together again. I hope all the good memories help in the days ahead.
