We are very sad to read of the passing of our friend who kept things spunky at the bridge club here in Vero Beach.
Priscilla was both strong and serious yet soft and kind.
I loved to make her grin. It brought me joy to get a good chuckle out of her.
John and I will surely miss our pal Priscilla and I hope to play a few hands to make her proud in the future and do hope she may look down and smile.

Priscilla was a force to be reckoned with at the bridge table. I always looked forward to playing against her as she raise the bar for the rest of us. I will miss seeing her at her corner spot at the lunch table. A life well lived.

I will miss seeing her in her favorite seat at the VBBC. When I first moved to Vero she was kind enough to play bridge with me even though she had many more points than I. RIP
