I was so sorry to see Priscilla’s picture in the obituaries.She was still wearing her beautiful smile as always. I went to high school with her and enjoyed many hours of fun. I will never forget the wonderful times we shared and the things we learned at Owen High School. I pray that God will give you strength during this transition. Cherish the memories and prepare for the future.
