We were traveling when we heard about Mr Palma’s passing. Our prayers and reflections at that time brought back many pleasant memories of growing up in a family friendly neighborhood that included the Palma’s. He always kept an eye on things, watched out for our welfare and safety, enjoyed watching us grow, and treated us all with a level of respect that I appreciated.
