Jamie, Sandy and Mr. Casteel - I am so very sorry to hear about your mom and wife. When my parents told me about your lose we remembered and talked about all the great times we had at Cokesbury. Those were some of the happiest times of my life and Priscilla was certainly a part of them. I will keep you close in my thoughts and prayers.

The world is less today, a wonderful lady by the name of Priscilla Castell past away Wednesday, May 9th. She was my good, good friend and mother-figure for the past 23 years and a loving, giving and caring person to everyone else, especially her family & people she considered part of her family. She was diagnosed with Inflammatory Brest Cancer in Nov 2011, which is a rare and deadly form of Breast Cancer. She handled the treatments with grace and tenacity, even though they were killing her. My heart hurts so badly for her family and myself. I hope that everyone has a Priscilla in their lives and if you do, please send them hugs. Because you are the lucky ones. Please keep Pris's family in your prayers, thank you.
