Lady Palmer I have so many wonderful memories. Our journey began when I was 17 and I joined matrons at Galilee. You supported as the NIMBDA president and the list goes on and on, Your encouragement & prayers down through the years will never be forgotten. Im grateful for spending time with you in particular the 15 or more years when you needed a shoulder to lean on and a listening ear. Gone away from us too soon. You said you were tired and quitting your job in December. I understand now.Well...

Love and Thank God for blessing my family and me with a Awesome Aunt like Aunt Linda. She served God, family, friends, and people who crossed her path faithfully. She made a impact, and left a powerful legacy for us to follow. The most comforting part of this grieving process is knowing that my Aunt got Wing's and she's with God smiling and praying for us. We love you Aunt Linda and Felicia in Jesus Name Amen love your niece Carolyn Riley.
