Hawkins Family:
I was so saddened to learn of Priscilla’s passing. I have such fond memories of Priscilla and Pastor Ray and enjoyed attending Priscilla’s Sunday School class years ago at Bemont Nazarene Church. I remember Priscilla singing with my in-laws, Larry and Irene Terwilliger, many times and it always brought tears to my eyes. She was the kindest most wonderful woman I have ever known. I know now that she is singing with the Terwilligers in Heaven and what a glorious sound it must be! God Bless you all. Love, Sandi Terwilliger
To the Hawkins family: I so loved your wife, mother, grandmother. the love of the Lord shined thru her so beautiful, wheather is was in Tuesday morn. prayer or Sunday school class, I just enjoyed being with her. I am rejoycing her presence with the Lord. Pastor Ray, you and your family are in my prayers. In His Love, Sharron Abney
