So sorry to hear about her. Many prayers
She was such a wonderful lady. She loved her family and friends and she loved the Lord!!! And we loved her!!!
Mrs. Priscilla was a member here in Antlers. I got to know her by working in the office when I would call and check on her. Sweet lady. Independent lady. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
We will miss Pricilla and her beautiful smile but take comfort in knowing she is with the Lord rejoicing!
We met Priscilla in church a week after being transferred to NAS Chase Field, Beeville, TX, in Oct of 1966. We quickly formed a friendship that has spanned fifty-five years and felt as close as family. A few days before she passed away we were able to tell her what a blessing she has been to us and how thankful we are that she was a part of our lives. She was one of God’s special people and will be greatly missed.
Mrs Priscilla Lamar l already miss you. It was a pleasure being your caregiver l thank God for the opportunity to meet you, there will always be a special place in my heart for you……… your CiCi
Momma, it’s been over a week since you went to be with The Lord and even after the funeral today, it doesn’t feel real. I keep picking up my phone to call you and then remember you are not here. I thank God for the gift of a Christian mother who loved us deeply and brought us up in church. I am glad you are no longer in pain and you are now strolling over Heaven but the loss will be with me forever. I love you. Kim
Can’t count how many times I’ve started to text or call in the past two weeks. I can’t believe you’re gone but I’m so grateful you finally have found relief from your pain. Love you forever, Granny.
Christmas wasn’t the same without you, Granny. We miss you and we love you. See you again someday.
