LaPriel was always a kind and compassionate lady and although I haven’t seen her in many years still as beautiful as I remember her. My heart goes out to you and your family, Kay, as I’m sure her presence in your lives will be sorely missed . She was fortunate to be married to one of the nicest people I’ve ever known. Blessings to all of you.
With love, Ardella Percy
