Gemma Palmer, tragically killed in a terrible road accident on the night of 22/23 June, was buried in Templcombe churchyard on Tuesday 5 July. A large number of mourners, possibly 300 or more, wearing bright clothing as instructed, filled the parish church to capacity. It was literally standing room only.
The service was conducted with great dignity and sympathy by the rector, the Rev Peter Hallett, who spoke of the “mess and uanswered questions” surrounding her death, and the undoubted love which many people had for 29 year old Gemma, as evidenced by the turnout at her funeral service.
It was a very sad day for Templecombe and Horsington, and for Gemma’s grieving family, to whom we continue to extend our deepest sympathy.
Maybe someone who knew her well would like to contribute an appreciation of Gemma’s life.
The service was very touching and showed just how much gemma was thought of and loved.Gemma your gorgeous smile and your fun loving attitute will be so missed. you and dave had your own funny kind of way of talking to each other that i never really understood but always made me laugh so much. you are so sorely missed and always will be. you will always be in our thoughts and memories. sleep tight sweetie x x x x x
