Porshia was a classmate in mine in the Zizzer Class of 1985. She was always very kind and sweet and always had gracious words to share with others. She will be missed by many but always remembered. Heaven has gained a precious Angel. We will all miss her. May God wrap His Arms around her family and bring peace to their grieving hearts.
