This physical world has lost a wonderful person whom I have admired and looked up too, and is still greatly missed! My conolances to family and friends.
Palma and I have been friends and coworkers for many years. She was always a bright spot in both my work and personal life, and we had kept in close touch during her retirement. I am overseas and was not able to attend the service, but have been thinking of her with love daily. I will miss her terribly and send my deepest sympathy to her entire family and circle of friends.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Mrs. Reed’s passing. She was my supervisor while I was student teaching during the spring of 2008. We had kept in touch after I graduated and she will always hold a special place in my heart. I will forever keep her letter of recommendation and remember her fondly. My sympathy for her family, whom she adored. May your memories of her keep her alive and well in your hearts.
God bless,

Ken and kids and grandchildren,
I was shocked to learn of Palma’s passing. I volunteered with Palma at Hospice for a few years. She also, helped me with my handicapped daughter. She was truly a special person. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

I was so sorry to read of Palma’s passing. I knew Palma when we worked for the IU for many years. I felt very glad when she agreed to become our supervisor at C.V. for several months. She was always so very positive, caring about the students and their families, and provided helpful supervision. I last saw her at a soccer game where each of us was watching one of our grandchildren play and her son coach. It was enjoyable to catch up and be together for that part of life. I hope that your many memories will be of comfort in the days, weeks, and months ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

There are no words to express the pain in our hearts of the loss of our dear friend Pam. She was the most giving loving and kind person we knew and not only was she a good friend to Tom and I but a mentor as well. We would not be the people we are today if she had not been such and integral part of our lives. She will be deeply missed but her memory will live forever in our hearts.
Our Prayer thoughts and love are with all the family and friends especially for Ken,Stacey and Todd.
Connie and Tom

I worked with Palma when I was a school counselor at Warwick School District. What a neat, warm professional woman. I always enjoyed seeing her walk through the door….she was a great person with whom to Work. I was so glad when she retired and was having so much FUN!! I reach out to each of you with care & prayer. Palma will be missed by many!
Sincerely,
