Not sure what to say?

Mr. Palmer was an amazingly giving kind, brilliant man who helped many people including my family. Many years ago, my husband was hurt on the job and was unable to work. He gave my family a place to live and food to eat. I do not know how my 2 boys, my husband and I would have survived without Mr. Palmer’s help. Mr. Palmer was determined to save our home, help my husband get well and help our family get back on our feet. With much work, he was successful. Many years later my husband...

Respectfully to Bobby's family,
As Bobby's dentist I count myself as a good friend of forty plus years. My prayers to all of you in this closing time.
Respectfully,

Maria, Caroline and family. Please know that we are continuing to pray for all of you. Mr. Bobby was a fine man. We will not be able to attend your Dad’s Celebration of Life Service. Marcie and I are in the mountains. Bertie Jenkins

Good-bye old friend. Maybe we can meet upstairs and again rap about our good fun times. Rader Jackson

Deepest sympathy. Great memories of his mother. We are distantly related to the Ellis family.

Mr. Robert was very instrumental in helping find the history of our old house here in Ponchatoula. At one time his parents live in our house. He was also helpful in finding some of the millwork and doors that were originally in our home. He brought family members and friends to visit as we were renovating. Mr. Robert was one of the friendliest people to welcome us to Ponchatoula. We send our condolences to the family.

Maria, Caroline, Julie, and Alyssa, We will miss your soft-spoken, smiling father who shared his loving and kind heart with you, his family, friends, and all of us. We will treasure his memories and always glance at the awesome family photos we have in our family room and albums. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, and we remember the times he visited Omar, Julie, Adriana and Gabby and we were fortunate to be present in Chino Hills and watch him play board games in the dining area...

Enjoyed having your dad as our next door neighbor for almost 20 years. He was a kind, intelligent man. I know you all will miss him.

Maria, Caroline and family,
Mark, Marcie and I are thinking of you all during this time of loss. Prayers are being sent for your comfort and healing. Remember his big, beautiful smile.
