Priscilla's passing is in many ways the end of an era, one in which she gave generously of herself to her community and its people. I met Priscilla and her husband John when we served together on the Bennington County Humane Society Board, in the 1980-90s. She and John and my husband Roger and I remained dear friends over the years since then,sharing many wonderful times together.
I am grateful that we were able to spend time with her only a few weeks ago. We will miss her very much.
