Val was a true Southern Lady and charmed everyone she met! I always marveled at her ability to say just the right thing no matter the situation. She and Carl were two of the first friends we made when we moved to Maryland. We have many happy memories of the trips we made with them. I am sure she is spreading her special charm in heaven. I know you miss her terriby but she lived life to the fullest!!!
