Dan I was so glad to have had the opportunity to meet and do Val’s hair these last few years. She was a beautiful person and we always admired what great care you took of her! We will surely miss her tapping away to the oldies......

Val and Dan were not only my employers, but they are my family. Always there for me and willing to give a helping hand. Anyone that knows them, would say that they always went above and beyond for their community, family and friends. Val was my mentor, I love her, and I miss her. Kim Garmong
