My family and I give our most sincerest condolenses to Mark and family. May God bring confort to you all. Priscilla will forever bring happiness and laughter in my mamories of her. A great women that we will miss, an angel gained in heaven❤🙏
I’m so saddened by her passing!! I loved her like a sister. We were so close for many years. We drifted apart but I always considered her my best friend as life got in our way!!! RIP sweet lady!!
I am so sadden to hear of Cilla’s passing. Such a kind, helpful, and generous person. She will be missed. God gained a good one.
I feel selfish for not wanting it to be her time, but for the years she walked this earth she changed and helped a lot of people. She had the biggest heart and was the most forgiving person out of anyone I’ve ever known. She taught me a lot about life, and helped everyone in every way she could when she could. Disney was a treasured memory, but even more so with her there smiling every time we saw her. Thank you for being the best Aunt anyone could wish for, you blessed so many lives with just your presence.
Cilla and Mark welcomed us to the SRE community in 2001 and have been true friends ever since. Cilla was the epitome of thoughtfulness even through her physical struggles, most recently sending a card to a graduating grandkid that made us all laugh! The community has lost a primary source of smiles!!! Rest in Peace, Cilla!
We are so sad to hear of Pricillia’s passing. We always had a lot of fun together. Lots of memories with her but I’ll never forget her favorite saying “mama looks good” and she was never wrong💕. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, Tari, Danny and Toby during this difficult time.
Mom, I still can’t believe that you’re actually gone. I don’t even know what to say or how to go on because the pain of you not being here and the guilt of being to selfish to not call you or see you for so many years and now it’s to late. I can’t remember when I told you I loved you last or heard it from you. I am so sorry I wasn’t the daughter you needed me to be and wanted me to be. I am not sure how to hang on. There is a hole in my heart I can’t shake. I miss you so much I wish this as just a dream and I could call and you would answer. I hope you know that I love you so much and I always have. I just didn’t tell
You often enough. I hope I am able to make you somewhat proud of me with what time I have left on earth. Thank you being my mom and giving me life. For being there always even when I didn’t want you to be. I will forever be grateful! All my love ! Until we meet again ! Your oldest Daughter, Tari
