Priscilla was my best friend in school at Central. We shared our teenage years together. Many times we had sleepovers at each other's houses and laughed over the silliest things until the wee hours of the morning. I'll always remember the good times we had together. God bless her family.

Aaron-
Your mom was such a wonderful person in every way. She was always there to make us laugh when we needed it most. Priscilla always put everyone else before her own needs and would help anyone. Priscilla got us through some of the most difficult times in our lives and showed us what family is all about. That's what Priscilla was to us: more than a friend, she was family. She will be greatly missed by all. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Don, Marsha, Lexi and Brandon Stone

Aaron,

I know how tough this is...we are going to miss "moms". She really is a gem and always treated me like a son. I enjoyed being able to see her and chat with her the last couple of months. Time is so precious. I know she appreciated everything you have done for her the last few months while she was sick. I also know she had to have been so happy and proud after seeing you literally build her a new house. I know its sad she didn't get to enjoy it for as long as you would have liked but nonetheless its great you were able to give her that gift while she was alive. I know you will live on in her honor and continue to make her proud until we all reunite with her in the near future.

Love ya bro, GEO

I too have lost my very dear and close friend of twenty years but I will continue to talk to her but now through God.

February 2, 2010

Aaron, Yes, we were truly blessed to have had her in our lives. We will miss her very much. She was the best sister-in-law and I will cherish all the memories.

We love you and always know we will be here for you.

Always know that we are just a few blocks away if you need anything - we consider you family! Pris will be greatly missed. Over the past 20 years, she always had a comment or two to make me laugh.

My deepest condolences to the family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Pris in person, but spoke to her many times on the phone while working for Roadway Express, Chicago Heights, Il. She was very good at what she did and I called her for work advice often. She will be deeply missed.

Priscilla was not only my mother, she was a best friend. We had been through so much together, and through every challenge we had each other to count on. We knew that. That was special to both of us. Words cannot express how much I appreciated her in my life. She was all a son could ask for. I will always love her and miss her deeply. I Love You Mom. Though it was just me and you, you were all the family I could ask for. I was truly blessed. Love Aaron - Your Loving Son
