To the family of this sweet lady.
My daddy Sam Bagley, was a man of few words. But he never failed to remind us just how nice Ms. Prisalla was. He worked close with her while she was at Fayetteville Gas System and he was in insurance business. We all agreed with how kind she was. She will be missed.
