I met Priscilla when she hosted me over a couple of years, for several months, in her house. I was working at UCSC and I was looking for a place to stay. She took me in, and after a while I felt like at home.
I loved to spend time with her: she showed me around in her little blue Prius, corrected my English, introduced me to her friends (she even had me cook Risotto Milanese for a group of her friends one evening). She always had a kind word, an interesting observation.
I have called her a couple of times over the years, we exchanged messages, and I wanted to come back, and present her my family, the kids especially, since she had met my wife already. As often happens with life, everything after the third child went by very fast, and we didn't manage to do it in time.
I just learned about Priscilla's departure, and I am deeply saddened.
I have missed her for a long time, but now I know that there's no turning back, no "another" opportunity.
Priscilla was a brilliant mind and a graceful heart.
