"She meant everything to me — to us. [She was] so friendly and happy. The main quality of hers is [she was] an amazing mother and everything she did in life surrounded her children. There's nothing she wouldn't do for her kids. They were her life, they were everything to her — she was just a good mother."
According to authorities and family, Palma, a 37-year-old mother of three who was expecting her fourth child, was having problems with her husband Matthew Padzunas. He shot and killed her and then himself Sept. 18, police in Maricopa, Arizona, said.
The GoFundMe will help the family pay for funeral expenses and to bring Vanessa Palma back to New Jersey, organizers said.
