Condolences to the family of Mrs Louise Palmer. I will miss our chats on the phone and sending cards to her. Your Mother was a wonderful person. Whenever I visited my family in Conn., I would make it over to her house to bring home made candy or cookies.. Blessings to your family. Carolyn Morton/Gumbs
