Dear Priscilla such a lovely friend
Praying for Jesus to comfort her family and friends …….even though she has moved to
the best place she could go to, we will miss her warmth and Priziness very much. She was a good caregiver to her family and friends, including me when I had many close calls healthwise. Dance on, Priscilla.
Priscilla I cannot believe you are gone! I just retired, thinking I would get to spend my retirement with you having fun in Florida. Well, you moved on to Heaven, so now I will just have to wait. Tell everyone Hello up there and I love and miss you all. Of course tell Jesus I love him too!!
Even though I may not have spent a whole lot of time with her, I’ve witnessed the love and care she gives to my grandmother. and how it was reciprocated to everyone around. The achievements she made throughout her life definitely inspire me as well to do the most in life. Prayers coming your way, and give everyone a hug for me !!!
Priscilla was one of a kind. So sweet, always ready with a prayer and encouraging word, beautiful dancer and graceful signer. She loved unconditionally. She amazed me with her dedication and patience while taking care of Sophie.One of the best friends I have ever had. Totally non-judgmental always. I could tell her anything in confidence and know she would keep it to herself. What a truly incredible human being.
Priscilla will be greatly missed , I enjoyed her company when we were young teens and also stayed in touch with her though the years . Will miss not getting her wonderful messages on Facebook. I’m sorry you had to go so soon but will look forward to seeing you heaven .
Priscilla, you and I have been through alot when I would take of your mom and then I would help you. I will miss going out to dinners and just having talks. Priscilla go an dance with the Lord. You will be greatly missed.
Priscilla is reunited with her mother and sisters. What a great celebration is taking place in heaven! Her smile, laugh, concern and care for others, and friendship are missed here but her gifts of song and dance are being cherished by the King of kings. My heartfelt condolences to the family as they grieve her loss.
Sincere condolences and prayers to her family from her friends at Loving Care
Bill and Nancy Flowers enjoyed so many memories with Priscilla. Her humor and dance stamina encouraged us. She blessed us with her smile and energy and was an encouragement to us. See you dancing with your mom and sisters!.
Priscilla was a true believer, a true friend for decades, and I’m still shocked she is gone. I will always remember her dancing for the Lord, her ballroom dancing, her dedication to the unborn babies, and her unselfish care for her mom. She will be missed immensely. Words cannot describe how sad I am…I always hoped she’d move down to Florida…She would have loved it here. Of course, now she is in the best place ever, in heaven with Jesus!
Priscilla was my dearest friend/sister in Christ Jesus she was a beautiful thoughtful kind loving…and so much more… Love her I will miss her soooo much. I thank God for her she was such a blessing in my life ♥️🙏we had soooo many good times Hallelujah ❤️🙏😀
You left so quickly, but Jesus is far better than anything here. You will be missed.

To my friends:
I am numb, I am exhausted, I still don’t believe this has happened.
Priscilla passed away yesterday. She fought to live, but lost that final battle. Thank God we win the War!
I am devastated, but am clinging to Jesus. My mind keeps replaying moments with Pris, dressed up and out to dinner, up on the pier in wild weather at the oceanfront, or just talking on the phone for long periods. Only 3 weeks prior, we were at the singles’ Christmas party at Tim and Althea’s. We were planning to go on a Christian ministry cruise together in the Spring. But she was snatched away so suddenly.
I’m so glad that I got over covid just in time to go be with Pris for those final few days. That part was obviously orchestrated by God. I’m sorry that covid prohibited others from being able to visit. During that time, one thing that Pris repeatedly and consistently asked me to communicate to each person is that she loves you.
We may be living in the last days. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Only what’s truly important will remain. Our friendships and loving relationships are of the utmost importance during this time. Let us cherish them deeply.
