To Nick, Jamie and Ryan...I am glad that I got to know the wonderful woman that you called wife and mother. She was a great neighbor of ours for seven years and I will never forget all the good times we had with Val playing pool in the garage and eating plenty of good food. I will hold the memories of all the good times throughout the years as I know you will also. They will carry you through and make you smile....
