Az'urai Palmer
July 29, 2013
Az’urai Palmer, 16, passed away Monday, July 29, 2013, at Mercy Medical Center.
Az’urai was born October 19, 1996, in Des Moines. She excelled academically and recently attended the NYLC (National Youth Leadership Conference). Az’urai enjoyed reading, writing, drawing, singing, playing the guitar, cooking, watching movies, making people laugh, and poetry. She was often described as a hipster. Az’urai was too eccentric to be put under any label. Az’urai was just Az’urai.
In death as in life, Az’urai will continue to touch the lives of others as she had previously made the decision to be an organ and tissue donor.
Az’urai is survived by her mother, Kristina (Benito) Quinonez; father, Richard Palmer, Sr.; siblings, Jasmine Palmer and Richard Palmer, Jr.; grandparents, Vickie (Bob) Horsch, Corliss “Nanny” DeVan, and Ed (Katy) Polich; great-grandmother, Deloise Veith; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, August 2, 2013, at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.

Az a week ago you passed. With all the arrangements, it seemed like the week flew by. Now, today I feel like I am at a stand still. I still have so many questions and regrets. I know this was no one's fault. I still miss you everyday...I want to see you so bad. I don't want to short change your siblings on the rest of their life but I can't wait to see you again. Love Mum

Az'urai I am really struggling here not being able to just put my arms around you just one last time. I only start crying when I am alone. You have left me with a huge support system BUT you left me too soon. This might take me awhile. I might not be as strong as I have in the past...I just want you to know that your funeral was...well, I couldn't imagine it any other way. You are so loved and always will be. We owe all our family and friends for that. Az'urai I might talk to you thru this site for awhile and that's ok. It makes me feel better and to see all who loves you Baby.

Kristina, Benito, Corliss, Richard, Jasmine, Bo & great grandma. Our loss is great but I believe Az'urai is in the arms of Jesus & now understands just how special she was. I will be praying for our comfort. We must pull together, support one another, prepare ourselves knowing we will see her on the other side.
Sent with love & hope,
G ma Horsch
