Death bring pain that time can only heal,
No words could ease what we feel;
But with God, her joy is externally sealed,
And cherish her memories that death can’t even seal.
Lift up a smile for she is already in the paradise
R.I.P. Cousin Ann….We loved you and will be truly missed.

February 16, 2025 at 1:03 pmPriscilla was my best friend at St. Helena Elementary. As a new special education teacher fresh out of college she was a wonderful mentor to me. She always made me laugh and we enjoyed going out to eat together at Wicker’s Crab Pot restaurant. We also loved to talk about our QVC and HSN purchases. I’m so sad to hear of her passing but know she is reunited and with Dana and Larry. Micha, I’m praying for you. She loved you so very much.
