    So sorry about the loss of this lovely woman. I have know her for many years with the Top of VA quilters and admired her strength and courage during her cancer battle. Just when I thought she could not attend meetings any more, in the door she would come with that beautiful smile. I will miss her so much.

    Dear Gerry, Pieter, and Genna, we share your sorrow at the passing of Priscilla. We are confident she is with Jesus, and has no more pain and suffering. Priscilla deeply enriched our lives. She was a “giver”. Our favorite line was “Call Priscilla! She knows everything!” We loved her and thank God for her. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Ed and Deb

    I knew Priscilla when she was a member of Fairfax Chapter Quilters Unlimited. She had a warm and giving heart. She is the only person I know who revealed during an ice breaker activity at a quilting retreat, she attended Woodstock music festival, 1969. I thought she was the coolest. She will be missed for sure.
