Priscilla was a loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend of many. She loved life, was loving, kind, maintained a positive attitude, and always seemed to know just what to say or do, in any situation. Priscilla had a lot of faith in our Lord, and impressed this upon her "babies".  She was fiercely loved by family and friends. She will be greatly missed as we reminisce about the short time we were blessed to have her in our lives.
