I send my heartfelt sympathy to the Reid/Coulter Family. I worked with Priscilla as a member of Alpha Chi Chapter, and I have nothing but fond memories of a wonderful person. Her picture (in the 1969 AKA photo) is on my office wall. Whenever I look at it I'll remember a great and gracious lady. May God continue to bless you.

Reid/Coulter Family
My heart is heavy with grief! Just this past weekend, my brother Arthur "Ray" Moss and I were speaking about our childhood neighbors in Lincoln Heights, and Priscilla's name came up as the "most intelligent" and "most beautiful"! May God sustain you in your time of loss and forever remember the wonderful woman that Ms. Priscilla Reid was.

My thoughts and prayers are extended to the family. Priscilla was a close cousin and a good friend. I can remember while a student at Columbia University in New York, never a week would pass that she did not call or actually meet with me. Nearly every other Friday I would meet with Priscilla at her condo on the Upper East Side where she and I would talk about old times and our beloved town Newton over a meal that she prepared for me. Often times Priscilla would surprise me and show up on campus to determine if I needed anything, always slipping a few dollars into my shirt pocket as a kind gesture to let me know that she cared; I later found out at my mother’s behest through many conversations my mother had with cousin Dot that Priscilla was ask to visit with me once a week unannounced; we laughed about that later on.......... Priscilla was an unselfish woman and never condescending; Priscilla Reid was a true winner for whom I will always endear.
