Scott, Todd and Pam, I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. She was always as sweet as she was funny. I am so thankful that Joan and I ran into your mother and Pam about 2 years ago at the farm. Your mother looked great and of course still had her contagious laugh.Your mother was always so welcoming to all who went to your house. If I were to pick some favorite Joyce Palmer moments, it would most likely be the occasional Saturday night Joyce Palmer/Dot Casey late night marathons. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother definitely left the world a better place.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with her at Ballou. She told us so many hilarious stories, including things she had done. She will be missed.
She was a really great lady. I know she will be missed. I think of all the times we played together as kids. I remember having pizza for lunch at the Palmer’s house.
Pam, Todd and Scott I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. The memories we share in our little area of Seekonk are priceless.
Pam, Scott and Todd were our first friends when we moved to Seekonk. Mrs. Palmer was always so sweet. May she rest in peace.
