Rocky, I'm glad I had a chance to communicate with you a few times. Thank you for being an inspiration.

I was missing my sister who passed on 4 months before you and came across your obituary. Thank you for living your life the way you did and sharing your thoughts and confessions. We have much in common and I plan to live the rest of my life with the same enthusiasm you had. Rest in peace, Val.

What a great idea to write your own obit.This man got the chance to say the heart felt words about his life and his last message..

Wow... The most amazing, honest and heart felt obituary I have ever read. Like some of the other 1944 or so entries, I have never written in the guest book of someone I didn't know... however after reading the ob, I felt I almost did know Val. Deepest sympathy to you, the wife he truly loved. It must be devastating to lose him at such a young age. You must have lived in a "whirl-wind" of fun times while he was still physically with you. I am sure he will always be spiritually with you. Thank you for honoring his requests and to print his ob in his own words. You are a truely amazing and inspirational couple... KHB

I did read all the way to the end. I am sure your life was even more full than your obit. Thank you for your openness and candid exit. You have inspired me with some new ideas for my own life before my day comes. Rest In Peace new friend. From a new admirer. Duggles

I came upon Val's obituary today and was deeply moved by his words. What a beautiful person he was. Those are the things I'd like to include in my own obituary. I raise my glass to you, Val!

This is my third message.... I looked up your sister and read about her unfortunate car accident, I cried for the loss of her life at such a young age. No doubt she would have lived a life as wonderful as yours.

I am a stranger. And yet, I feel a kinship to Val in that everyone has secrets or confessions. I hope Mary Jane finds some comfort in knowing these words have reached so many people. It was touching.

I lived in an apartment in Holladay, Utah with Val and another friend. Val was always very funny and he truly was a genius. He built the fastest Ford Pinto on earth. He had a bird I believe it was a Cockatiel his name was David and he drove us all nuts except for Val of course. We had lots of great times together.

I didn't hear about Val's death until now because I moved to Wyoming and have lost track of many of my old friends.

R.I.P Val.

My heart felt condolences go out to Val's wife and family.

Hope your doing good Little Mare..

Hang in there,

Jim
