    We had a million shared memories. Pricilla and I were at Reed's pond skating and my dog Mickey fell through the ice. Pricilla got down on her hands and knees and pulled him to safety! I will miss her dearly but, will see her again. God Bless

    So sad to hear about Aunt Priscilla's passing, I'll always remember her from sleep overs as a kid, and working with Mom at Herrick and Smith. I'll miss her.

    Dear Mrs. Kelly, God has taken another beautiful angel, you will be thought of often. My best memories are when we all use to meet on Nantasket beach every weekend at the same spot and spend the day.. I remember Brenda and I meeting you down town for lunch, visiting you down the Cape, and you were always welcoming to me in your home. I feel lucky to have known you and know you are at a good place. Love and miss you, Tracey

    I remember meeting your mom on my first day at Widett Slater & Goldman and learning the way around a large firm from her and then finding out that the Sheila and Brenda I knew from the boats were actually her daughters. I know that words alone can hardly ease the pain But please know that my thoughts are with all of you at this time.
