I met your mother at the Lourdes bereavement meetings in 2000 and we continued with that group "Sunday Beginnings" for several years. She was a great lady and we will miss her. My prayers are with you in your time of sadness.

My condolences to the entire family. I have many fond memories of working for the Palmers, including the renovation of what is the new store.
May God shine on her, and her beginnings of a new life with him.
