Izzy & Sean,
I am so sad to hear of Val´s passing! I just adored your Mom! She was just the sweetest and I am so happy she and Mom (Camille) were such good friends!

My sincere condolences to Sean and Isobel and Family. A very wonderful privilege to have known Val and Jim, Sean and Izzie as a young man in college and young adult. We really got to know each other very well during the years I served as Swim Coach at GLCC. It is true, rain or shine we were all enthusiastically present
for Swim practices and/or meets. Val or Jim would bring the kids down in their Correct Craft Ski boat. Val was a very gracious, warm, encouraging, talented and
special person....
