Not sure what to say?

My sincere sympathy to Val’s family. Val was a VERY SPECIAL PERSON. She was caring, loving, fun, courageous, thoughtful, forgiving, and so much more. I will always remember her smile and her giggle.
Her friendship was precious to me. My life is better for having known her. I just know that she is watching over all of us.
Thoughts and prayers are with Val’s family and friends. May all the happy memories bring you comfort.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Val was a true angel. She never spoke a bad word about anyone. She always carried a positive attitude even through the bad times. I knew Val for over 30 years. She will be sorely missed by all whose lives she touched. I consider myself lucky to have been able to call a Val a friend for all these years. We kept in touch even though I no longer lived in Buffalo. My heart goes out to all her loved ones.

Val shared her laughter, her warmth, her wisdom and her love with everyone she came in contact with. I am honored and blessed to have had her as a dear friend. May all of our memories keep her close in our hearts and bring her family and friends comfort.

May the God of peace be with your entire family!

To Val's family,
We're so sorry for your loss, stay strong through this tough time, she will always be in our hearts.

My condolences to the family. Val was a fantastic person and loved by all. I will miss seeing her each week in church. I,m sorry I can't be with you during this time since I am out of town but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Val's incredible family,
I was Blessed to know your mom/sister/friend, and her magnetic smile and personality during my time at Key Bank. She was always the most optimistic, funny, bright light, and talked always of her love for her children. Her kids gave her the love and optimism to get up each day, I suspect that is what kept her fighting so hard for so long.
I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers, where you have been, and I will be honored to see Val again...

There are no words of comfort that can help ease the pain that we are all feeling at this time. Myself I will always remember the day many years ago that this sweet little girl named Val came into my life. She was my first niece. She grew into this beautiful young woman and as time went on she became a sweet, loving mother and friend to many. Her untimely death has left a void in our lives. Always in my heart,

Love, Aunt Bertie
