Palma was our friend and the mother our best friend/chosen family, and we will miss her sweet smile, her amazing Italian cooking, and just being able to talk to her. She is an inspiration in the strength that she had even through the tremendous loss she suffered in losing her sweet children Rocco, my Angie, and then sweet Rose! She is finally at peace and with her loved ones who went way to early...May She Rest In Peace...until we meet again!

Im blessed for knowing her. Thank you Johnny for contacting me. I love you all!! She will be missed so much.

Palma was one of the brightest parts of growing up on Frances Avenue. She and her family will always hold a special place in my heart. Now, she is reunited with her beloved children-Rocco, Rose, and Angie-whom we continue to miss deeply and look forward to seeing again one day in heaven. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers.
