Sorry for your loss Ken may she rest in peace.

I met Midge years ago at the Sandusky YMCA. She and Ken never missed a chance to exercise. Her workout routine inspired me and many others.
She was always quick to smile say hello, and ask how I was doing?
Midge will be missed by many and not forgotten.
Prayers going up for Ken and the Palmer family.
