Andrea, as we came to know her was so very kind. She seemed to be my mother's own personal angel. When I was a young girl, she helped me to deliver kittens and later adopted two of them when my family had to move away. She and her family bottle fed a lamb in their kitchen. She was a gift to her family and her friends. Her painting was beautiful. Her children are her living legacy.

Priscilla's beauty was never just skin-deep. Her soul was filled with it to the point that it over-flowed in her art and poetry, and her generousity of heart to everyone around her. Her children, each a work of art themselves, were her pride and joy. I am grateful for the gift of having had her in my life.
