Dear Vickie, we are so sorry for your loss. May God bless your family during this very difficult time.
Debbie and Vicki, I always thought a lot of your mom. She was pretty, always smiling and had a kind word. I used to visit you all in Highland Springs before you moved to West Virginia. I loved talking with her, At family get togethers we always had so much fun. Eating and laughing. That was one thing about the Palmer family ….. telling tales and laughing !!! I visited some when you were in a Hampton. Then life just got in the way. I did call some but lost her number. You think about things, plan to visit, but no follow through. I know how difficult it is to lose a mom. ,My thoughts and prayers are with you. I’m sorry I will not be able to attend the gathering tomorrow. Would appreciate if you would get in touch via email. Would love to reconnect. I’m glad she made it to 100. Daddy wanted to but did not make it. Hugs and love
