Priscilla was salt of earth, down to earth and grounded in family. My earliest recollection of Cilla and her sisters, now gone, and mother were in my early youth staying with them in Newark, Delaware, for reasons I don't know now. Such attention to their very young nephew, I remember. It continued as families formed and aged in New Hampshire. Cilla and Uncle Bob wouldn't hear of my staying at the local over-night stop when I last visited Union and put me up with my sister Ann Lemoine Paul for several days. Such good cooking and more attention. Bob insisted I watch a Red Socks game as he knew I was a Yankees fan and gloated as his team won. Snacks and a front/center seat were provided. The memories are vivid still.

Dear Lori, Kenny and all family and friends, It's always a shock to say goodbye to relatives and this is no exception. When I was young at home, a highlight of the year was Mom and Dad (Eleanor and Orville 'Orvie' Lemoine) packing sisters Janet, Ann and me into the car to visit the Union family. I'll never forget those warm times with aunts, uncles and cousins (and the tax free liquor stop) 'up north'. Burying Dad last decade, Bob and Cilla put me and Ann up at the house and fed us royally. I'll also not forget the only requirement one visit--watching the Red Sox on TV trounce my Yankees with Bob crowing the whole time. Ann is incognito lately and Janet fights chemo fatigue and side effects so won't attend the Memorial; I'll try to make it. Please know I've already made a memorial donation on behalf of patriot and veteran Bob to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. Please accept our condolences and hope to see y'all in August.

Dear John and Lori
John and I (Diane) are very sorry for your lost of your Mom and Dad. Priscilla and Bob were part of our life here in Union for over 20 years. They accepted as as Janet, and Martha did. Our son, Craig ran Union Marble and Granite Works and your parents told us the stories about the people who had it before us. Your Mom taught me how to make the coleslaw for the church suppers. They both instructed me how to serve and be polite to the people. Every morning, your Dad got our mail so we could work at the mill. He always called me Doll, never Diane. We will truly miss them.

Priscilla was such a vibrant part of our church family at Union Congregational Church. She served as deacon for many years and truly embodied Christian principles throughout her life. The world is a better place because of her! She willingly served at our Women's Fellowship dinners with her beloved Bob who poured the coffee! Please accept our condolences.
