I am so sorry to hear of Priscilla's passing, but I'm sure she is happy to be with Maurice again. Priscilla tended my oldest son Ben for 5 years and I always say that he is such a good kid because of her. She loved him like he was her own. May God be with her family and comfort them at this time.

I have known Priscilla and Maurice for about 40 years and loved every moment. Priscilla made dolls with me and that was her special hobby. I leave the Trafelet family with my love and prayers. Barbara Malmstrom
