Didn´t realize our Coco has been leaving you occasional messages all these years. 18 years you´ve been gone and you´re still a huge part of our growing family. I still chat with you often as do the kids and share mostly funny, happy memories. But the longing and pain of your absence still flares at times. The ache for your touch, your smile your words of encouragement. I try to be positive and appreciate all the good years we had together as a family and so thankful we had you when we did. I...

Love you dad ! Ross caught a hog this weekend ice fishing with lil rog! Of course it reminds me of you and all the memories you provided to us on our days out on Mille lacs lake ice fishing!! I miss you . I can´t believe it´s coming up on 18 years but still feels like so many memories are so vivid with you. I´m grateful for that. 2023 was a tough one but with the love of family and friends and your guidance from above we are prevailing !! And I can answer how you´d always answer when people...

Miss you dad !!!

Thinking of selling the house and sure wish you could build me my forever home!

Four years have passed and you are ever present in your family's lives. Your goodness is reflected in each of your children and how they are as adults and how they pass on your good qualities; honesty, ethics and hard work to their children.
You would be so proud of your grandchildren who are smart, athletic, so good looking, and really nice little people.

You would also be proud of your wonderful wife, my friend, who has been such a strong...

Happy Birthday!! Uncle Roger and Grandpa Palmer...I know know Chris is in such good hands with both of you.

Love,
Claudette, Leslie, Bill, Mark and Brian

I was having a good cry last night over some silly movie and Megan out of the blue said "what is it mom, your missing Grandpa"... You would be amazed at her caring ways. I miss you dad each and every day.. but there are many days that your power and presence is so strong, I know you are still with us. XOXO

I found this while going through chris's belongings.
I think sometimes a persons spirit is so strong, that it never completely leaves the earth but remains scattered forever among those who love them.....I think of you everyday uncle Roger you taught me much. The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment, but it is no less than a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

I love you Chris and Roger
