I remember the 1st time I met Val, they had just moved in there new house and me and my girls made a basket of goodies to take over and welcome them to the neighborhood. She told us how no one had ever done that for her before and how much she loved it. It was'nt long we would be friends. And it was'nt long before the whole neighborhood would come to love Val and warm smile. I will miss you my dear friend.
