To the Pritchett Family, You have my deepest sympathy. I remember Mother Prittchett as being a kind giving person. She was a strong Saint of God. I often wondered where she was? She has been missed especially, at the church. May God Bless You All ! Sister Frances Neal Pegram & The Neal Family

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the Pritchett family. Having spent many days (and nights) at the Pritchett home I can say with certainty that Mrs. Pritchett loved her family and loved the Lord with all her heart. Any issue from a skinned knee to a lie told was addressed with prayer and a bible verse. She was kind, gentle and non-judgemental. The example of a true woman of God. I am so sorry for the loss to the family but heaven has gained a bright and shining angel.
