Ms Pribyson was my brother“s favorite teacher at St. Augustine School through his entire 8 years there. I hope they are reconnecting over SAS 50 cent chocolate bars. She was truly a kind and caring person and beloved by many students.

My sympathy to Jack and her children. I will always remember Joan's voice and laugh. It was wonderful working with her in my first assignment as priest, sharing my faith and she sharing hers. Some people will always be remembered and Joan is one of those good people. RIP, my friend.
