I am one of the grandkids and Gene Prigge’s eldest daughter. I won’t be able to make the services but am sending my love and condolances. Everybody will miss Grandma. I do remember the dollhouse and her organ when I was a little girl. Her kitchen had the best sunlight in the morning when you were eating breakfast, usually something sweet. I know she is up in heaven and is looking down on us and we can feel her love, strength, and pride for the family she helped create.
