GUESTBOOK
Dick, Cathy, Holly, After the death of our father in 1973, Aunt Percy provided much needed and appreciated support for our Mother. My younger brothers and sisters benefited tremendously from your Mother's care and guidance. She was a significant presence in our lives and loved by all of us. Aunt Percy was strong and determined, coupled with an unselfish spirit and a kind heart. She will be deeply missed by all of us. Our love and prayers go out to you and your families. -Rich and Vicki Wright
My family and I have been neighbors of Priscilla's daughter Holly and her family in Kentucky for decades and had the sincere pleasure of visiting with Priscilla when she came to Goshen. Priscilla was everything "right" in a person and a generation. We always looked forward to calling her on her birthday....and singing "Happy Birthday" to her. I will miss that; yet not as much as I will miss her. The Coyle Family is sorry to hear of the Wright and Jones Family's loss. A Great Lady. -Tim and Shannon Coyle
