For Priscilla,
You are finally at peace, and reunited with Mike, the love of your life. I will remember you always and honor your memory. I have great memories of basketball games, at home and away, Speech class, dances, and our Class trip.
My thoughts are with the family you have left behind, your son, daughter-in-law and a precious granddaughter.
I regret we didn't take the opportunity to see each the last time we had the chance. .
Rest in Peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family. What I remember most about Priscilla is jumping rope in the driveway of our farm. No one could ever beat her at double-dutch. Seems like yesterday we graduated from St. Mary's. My condolences to all.
