There are no words that can be said to make your pain go away. Know that she had a positive impact on many lives and she left us many great memories. I worked with Priscilla at the Child Support Division from 93' till her retirement. I will never forget the day I brought my newborn son into the office. She was in the middle of a meeting and said it was over now cause she had to hold the baby. She held him and didn't want to give him back. That was 18 years ago. She was a joy to be around and always brought alot of laughter in everyones lives. Such as the time when she got locked in the elevator at work and we had to call 911. Wait, that happend to her twice. She was The Best Supervisor I had ever had and a good friend. I will never forget her and the positive impact she had in my life.

Dear Lynn and Family,

Your mom was one of the best boss I ever had. She took good care of us "kids" at DACSD. I will always remember her laugh, her funny stories, her potluck dishes, and how she loved babies! I can picture your mom having a great time with your Dad now. May the wonderful memories of your mom will help you and your family through this time of sorrow.

Priscilla, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten, you myfriend were my favorite Supervisor and there will never be another like you, you hired me on in 1994 for the DA Child Support, many years later you took me under your wing, so many things changed once you retired and you were never forgotten as a wonderful person. You gave me lots of laughs, you were there when i shedded tears. I love you.

Cilla was such a kind and loving lady. Every time she saw our daughter Sam she just spoiled her. She will be missed dearly and will always be in our hearts. May you rest in peace, take Kens hand and no more sickness

I always knew what a blessing your mother was to me and my family. She leaves a void that is unfillable. Cilla was the most giving, generous, thoughtful person I have had the honor to know in my life.

There are times like this that I really don't know what to say.
I will miss Priscilla; she touched my life in so many ways. She was such a funny, generous, and kind person; She was more than just a wonderful person; She would do anything to help someone in need. I am so sorry she died.
She was like a second mother to me and she meant the world to me. Memories of our times together regardless of where we where or what we were doing will be forever held dear to me. May your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Your loss is also my loss, and I am here, my love and support will always be here for you at any time, to help you in any way I can.

As a computer tech for the County, I absolutely loved to go to the Telephone Rd building and "hang out" with Prescilla, and her partner in crime Bev. Priscilla was always up to something. She had a knack for making you feel good and we would laugh and laugh and laugh. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to engage with Priscilla. I'm sad to realize that she is no longer with us. My thoughts and prayers to Priscilla's family and friends.
