"Hello everyone and welcome to the funeral of my father,Palmer Cortlandt.Today we look back and remember one of the most funny,determined and strong people of Pine Valley. For me,I was an unwated child growing up poor in Pigeon’s Hallow, I believed my uncles and mother to be my siblings. That was untill I learned that my biological father Pete Cooney, lived in Pine Valley. Only now, he was known as business mogul Palmer Cortlandt. For me,I looked to make things up and we did. We may have had our differences but in the end,we loved each other like family. My father was a tough fighter in the bussiness. I can say now that he is smiling down on us to this day forward " - Ross. He steps down the podium and goes back to his seat.
Daisy comes up and speaks. "Me and PC were a very much a happy couple, even if there were no plans to marry. We reunited after problems were going on in our lives that included Cliff and Nina but we moved on. Palmer professed his love, and we remarried. I loved him and he loved me. He treated me like a classy lady and that's what I won't forget about PC.May he rest in piece" - Daisy. She goes back to her seat as Nina and Cliff walk over to the podium as Nina begins to speak.
"I was my father's daughter; not that she had much of a choice after my mother died in child-birth. For as long as she could remember, she suffered from many ailments, most notably diabetes.The pressure of mt recent move to Pine Valley made her ignore her health. At a party thrown in honor of the Cortlandts at the Tyler Estate, I fainted as a result of appendicitis.When Nina awoke, she saw the face of a handsome doctor, Cliff Warner" - Nina. "I was was Pine Valley Hospital's youngest and brightest surgeon.I never anticipated falling in love at work, but that all changed when I met Nina Cortlandt,but her father,Palmer Courtlandt was out there determined to ruin my reputation" - Cliff. "My father never approved of Cliff but as the years gone by,when we visted him he opened up to Cliff and welcomed him to the family. Palmer Courtlandt and Cliff got along well. We'll miss him and he won't be forgotten" - Nina. The two then walk over to their seats and sit down.
Petey walks up to the podium and speaks. "I grew up and lived the life of priveledge and luxury had a rocky start. I had a a pretty normal life... or as normal as life could be in Pine Valley. My dad Palmer gave me a new oppurtunity to be in the bussiness of companies and enterprieses. I learned his every move and I thank him for being there for me when it mattered. I love you dad" - Petey. He walks over to his seat next to Colby and sits down as Bobby Warner walks to the podium to speak.
"In 1995,my mom and dad sent me Bobby to move in with my Palmer because he was causing trouble in Denver.When I was there,I still caused trouble and it was hard for me but my grandfather stood by my side,no matter what decision I made or the action I caused. He loved me like a son. I'll truly miss him" - Bobby. He walks down the podium and sits down in his seat. Tad Martin walks up the podium and speaks.
"Like what happend to Nina and Cliff,I was with Dixie at the time,me and her were in love. But as I was married to Dixie back then,it wasn't going to work as long as Palmer had influence over Dixie. He made plans for us to move away from Pine Valley. But, Dixie was not ready to be separated from her family. Me and Palmer never liked each other but started to reconcile and be more like friends. I'll miss Palmer for his sense of humor and love for my mother" - Tad. As Tad goes over to his seat to sit down,Adam Chandler walks up to podium to speak.
"I multi-millionaire Adam Chandler came from very humble beginnings. Growing up impoverished in Pigeon's Hallow, West Virginia, I was determined to provide a better life for himself and my family. I moved into Pine Valley right before the beginning of the New Year, ready to make my mark on the small town. But in order to move forward, I needed to deal with the shadows in my past. Namely, Palmer Cortlandt, a man he knew as back woods golden boy, Pete Cooney. Me and him fueded and knowing him, the old coot wouldn't want me at his funeral" - Adam. The people laugh. "But im gonna miss him and the war of words we used to spare out. Goodybe Cooney,i'll miss you untill the day comes when we fued again in heaven" - Adam. He walks away from the podium to his seat and sits down. Finaly,Opal comes to podium,wiping her tears away as she begins to speak.
"This is hard for me,so i'll try my best to get this through. Wild and eccentric I have seen a lot in her life, but when I saw Palmer, I sent my sites on him. He transformed me into a beautiful lady. Even though we had issues,we would always come back towards each other. And now that he's gone,there will never be another Palmer Courtland in Pine Valley.
