I had the honor of working with Palkas at both St Joes and Community! She was the finest nurse and woman I have ever met! We went to Michigan and tried our luck, hers was better than mine! She will be missed by many...she will give them a run for the money up there! God Bless you Palka!
I have known Babe for over 20yrs. The one thing I will always remember about her , was years ago I had surgery at St. Joe's I remember the second day I woke up and she was sitting there waiting for me to open my eyes. She must had a few mins to spare as she was working her shift at the hospital. How kind of her to check on me! We will miss you .

One time my Aunt Babe came to pick me up from kindergarten, a friend of mine asked me who was in the car and I said she was a "friend" how true that was, She was the cool Aunt who golfed, played tennis, went to Mardi Gras, Vegas and saved lives. She gave my brother and I our first car, a 68 Dodge Polara, (aka the bat mobile), when she got a new car. I will always love and remember my "friend" Aunt Babe, say hi to Grandma for me, love you.

My Aunt Babe was special. It was kinda cool talking to her especially about sports. As youngsters my brother and I were learning to golf and Aunt Babe took us to the course. After a bad tee shot she said "mulligan" and promptly re-teed and hit another. That's where we first learned about golf's most important shot. Thanks A. Babe. I know you're safe and pain-free so take all the mulligans you want. Your loving nephew Ron.
I have been so fortunate to meet so many of my aunt's close friends. They have shown me another wonderful facet of her life, something we always knew but it so nice to hear. I will truly miss her. Love always , Cathy
