The family always jokes about her being "my mom" well she is "my Mimi" but i am feel so blessed knowing how many peoples lives she touched. I am thankful for every thing in me that is a part of her. I just hope to continue to make her proud every day as she watches me from above. Please keep our family in your prayers for this adjustment is going to be difficult.

Mimi- I love you so much it hurts. You have taught me my love for color and for music. I hope you heard me sing to you and i hope i did ok. I just wanted to make you proud and to know you were the best teacher ever. Thank you for loving me just the way i am. May my little angle pig fly back and forth from you to mine at my bedside to tell your stories and share your love. For mine will definatly fly to you. I love you mimi!

Priscilla was one of those unforgettable people you meet in life. She was sweet, caring, and loyal. With her music talent she was the organist for Corpus Christ and the choir I sang in back in the 1960's & 1970's. In addition her and I performed at several weddings and quite a few funerals at CC and St. Cecilia over about a 5 year period. Priscilla was instrumental in helping me especially the Latin words. I remember her infectious laugh and abilities in so many things. She made clothes for her family, was always there for Corpus Christi events when an organist or piano player was needed. Surely she will find her place in heaven with all the other saints.

God bless her surviving family and all those who knew her well. I unfortunately moved out of the area in the late 1970's so could no longer know her as a close friend.
