Pat and I went to Sherman and East High school together. I remember her family with fond memories and miss keeping in touch with them. Pat was there when my daughter was born and became her godmother. Dolly was always kind whenever I visited their home and treated me like one of their own. My sincere condolences to her family and friends, she will be dearly missed. Vicky Helmenstine Welsh.

In the short time that I lived across the street from Priscilla "Dolly", I enjoyed going over to visit her with my coffee in hand. There was a whole neoghborhood of us that checked in on dear Dolly & visited with her. My condoleances to all of her family. I have missed her since the day I moved out from her neighborhood. Heaven is indeed welcoming its finest.g

Pat (Patty), We were good friends in Jr. High and High School and I spent alot of time at your house and with your family and your Mom is a huge part of those memories. What a sweet woman she was, and always made me feel welcome. I am so sorry that you've lost her, and I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Barbara White Meyer
