Your family has my deepest sympathy. I am so very sorry to learn of the loss Ms. Priscilla. She will be dearly missed. I was thinking of something to say to ease the tremendous pain that your family is suffering. So I compiled this list of scriptures that is sure to bring you comfort in this difficult time: Psalms 55:22; Proverbs 3: 5 & 6; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; James 4:8; and Revelation 21:4. Be strong. Cherish the memories. May the peace of God be with your family always. And, please, remember to call upon his name found at Psalms 83:18.

We still remember the great harvest of friendship & peaches. We shared good times flying together in our airplane. Harry & Priscilla were great hosts…loved their homegrown grapes served as juice!
We look forward to meeting this lovely lady in heaven!
Blessings,

My neighbor, my friend: Priscilla will be noticeably missed in our neighborhood. My husband and I were fortunate enough to enjoy Priscilla’s beauty for five years as next door neighbors. Priscilla and I went to a bible study and I received a bible from her that I will always cherish. We also enjoyed monthly phone calls on the coming and goings of the local wildlife. She and I loved the bunnies. I have a wind up bunny Priscilla gave to me years ago. I will always think fondly on my memories of our “over the fence” discussions and the goodies ( cucumbers, tomoatoes and Meyers lemonbread ) the we left “on the fence” for one another. My heart goes out to Harry and Buddy-buds (my morning companion doggie who lets me yak at him over the fence) and to Betsy, Larry and Dan and the rest of the Gentle clan, who are just that, gentle, sweet folks. God bless you all from next door.
hugs, Nina and JD Weeland
