John 6:39-40
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
RIP

“Through 86 years of perpetual motion, if she knew you she’d smile and say – You know, some of it’s magic and some of it’s tragic, but I had a good life all the way”

Love You Mom

Rest in peace, Val - and please give my love to Bill. I have many fond memories of hanging out at your house in West Covina and talking with you about the issues of the day. You were the first truly "working mom" that I ever knew and I always admired you for that. You leave a remarkable legacy behind with your lovely family who love you and will miss you. On behalf of the Hernandez family, including my mom Bea, may you find peace in the loving arms of our Lord. God bless you, Val!
