To Priscilla's Family, my heartfelt sympathy. I was deeply saddened on learning of Priscilla's passing. We worked together at Fatima Hospital for 10 years and became good friends, only losing touch following her move to Colorado. She will be forever rememberedin my prayers. Rest in Peace Priscilla.

I have many fond memories of my cousin (Cilla). She was creative, musical and a kind soul. She was a free spirit and I remember her encouraging me to sing along with her to the Mama and Papa's song, California Dreaming, when we held our family plays, which she planned and organized! I hummed that song all day today. Rest in peace my sweet cousin.

Priscilla and I walked back and forth to school in Kindergarten at Chester W Barrows and attended Park View Jr High and graduated together in 1968 from CHSE. Priscilla is a kind soul and I am sure she will be rewarded in heaven. I was thrilled when we met up on Facebook several years ago and I will miss her.
