A very young Priss Wright, second from right, 1948.

Helping with dear cousin Priss's early riding lesson were, from left: her uncle Wayne Morrow, her older sister Custie, and her mother Audrey Miller.

All four family members in this photo are now together again -- and knowing the well-developed senses of humor they all possessed, the reunion is no doubt a laugh-filled one!

Kenny, We are so sorry to hear about Priss. Please know we are thinking about you and your family during this challenging time. I only knew Priss when she worked at the bank on Oracle and Orange Grove, but always heard wonderful things about her. Our thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Take care and we will see you soon.
