    I just discovered my dear aunt Priscilla has passed. It's been over 10 years since I've seen a Crosby. I am taking a chance of giving out my email address in the hope of reconnecting with any family member! Please write me so I personally let you know how much I miss and love all of you. Hugs Sara Jane. [email protected]

    I first met Priscilla when I stopped by the Cobb Library many years ago. She was so helpful helping me discover new authors! She asked me every day I visited the Cobb to join- I finally did and was happy volunteering there for many years. Priscilla was a wonderful woman will will certainly be missed! Debby Henderson

    Priscilla was one of best teachers. Always pleasant . Had us memorize This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest. From Evangeline.... Thanks for all you did Mrs. Crosby. RIP
