So many soccer and baseball games we watched you, Jared and Earl, play with your Mom & Dad in attendance. Simpler days cherished with good memories. We enjoyed watching you grow up with our sons. Your parents are proud of you both. They watch over you now and want you to be happy. You are the greatest achievement in their lives. Sending love and hugs.

Sending love to Jared and Earl and all of Mrs. Palmer´s family. She brought my family joy several times a week when we would walk the neighborhood and have walking visits. She was so sweet to my children and loved to talk about her own kids and grandchildren. She brought us joy weekly and we will miss her dearly. All our love, Amanda, Caleb, Vaill & Sonny
