As we commemorate 14 years since my grandmother's transition into greater glory, I lift my heart up to the heavens to embrace the glory of her spirit. She was a truly beautiful person. I would tell her that, and she'd laugh--but I was talking about her spirit. The radiance of joy, grace, and peace shined through her in such a way that it inspired others to be more faithful...Thank you for shining the light for us, grandma. Thank you for your agreement to weather all things. Because of your perseverance, so many have life. I love you. Rest well.

Remembering my Blessed Grandmother on her upcoming Ascension Anniversary, and everyday. She parted this earthly plane on 09/01/2005, but heartprints live on. She made tremendous contributions while she was here, living a legacy of goodness that is still

Remembering my Blessed Grandmother on her upcoming 14th year Ascension Anniversary, and everyday. She parted this earthly plane on 09/01/2005, but heartprints live on. She made tremendous contributions while she was here, living a legacy of goodness that is still making a difference in a world that can often feel very chaotic and cold. The deep love that she seeded within me continues to carry me forward & inspires me every day. Grahm, I celebrate the truth of your eternal life, and I thank you for continuing to be a light in this world and others. There is no separation between us

To All Palmer, Bowman and Family:



My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all on the passing of a wonderful person, Mrs Virginia Palmer. She will be sorely missed but not unforgotten. Unknowingly, we were both in the hospital at the same time for stroke conditions and did not known until her grandaughter and my daughter, Tamara, informed me. May God continue to keep all into eternal rest and peace.

Lady Bug, Doodle, and Penny - our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the entire family. I know that there will be quite a void in your lives with the passing of Mrs. Virginia, but you will always have memories of her in your hearts. She's gone to join Carol, Mr. Palmer and others that she loved. You will also join them one day and be with them again - so this is not a final goodbye. Just keep your hand in God's hand and things will be okay. We still love you all and we'll keep you in our prayers.
