When we moved to Welwyn Rd. in Riverside with our young family, Lindsey & Priscilla welcomed us. We will always remember the Easter egg hunts in their yard. Our sympathies to their family.

I met Priscilla and Lindsey when I joined the First Church of Round Hill in 1988. She was one of the most gracious women I've ever met. She always had a smile and a genuine interest in making those around her feel special. Her care and love for Lindsey in his final years was a testament to their deep devotion to each other. The world is a little less bright with her passing. God Bless you, Priscilla.

Priscilla was a bright and cheerful soul I was fortunate to know. As a Red Cross Nurse's Aide at the Blood Banks in Greenwich, she was a delight to all she encountered.

Priscilla was one of the very best of the greatest generation. She had true grace and was a wonderful aunt. Peter and I will miss her dearly.
