Velian "Val" Surwilo

It was on our calendar to leave a message by 11-18 (yesterday) so I don't know if this will make it into the memory book.

We couldn't wrap our thoughts around the loss of our dear Aunt Val. She was a sweet Godmother (to Maribeth); an excellent health source; a great family resource and a true friend. I would call call her with nothing to say and end up talking for a half an hour! I missed her the minute I heard the news.

She left us with many happy memories of her life with...

Dear Buzz & Family,

I am so sorry to hear the news. It's been many years since I've seen Val but I remember her smile and that she was always a wonderful lady.

Buzz,Rick & Louise, She was a great family member who we always looked forward to seeing and hearing the great stories about all those rides to VT. We still talk about them, Love to all, Ed,Trish,Nick & Ali

I am going to miss Gram she gave the best advice and taught me how to be a better person. She was a caring person and always giving to other people. Gram will always be in my heart.

To Everyone ~~
Thank you for the heartfelt messages. It's very comforting to know that Mom is remembered fondly. Please view the pictures in the Photo Album. She was a wonderful Gram & we all miss her.

Ricky, Louise and Jimmy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. What fun memories we have of Nurses Club meetings, Oxo-Boxo lake and for me, the time I spent living upstairs from Aunt Val and Uncle Vic when I came back to Stamford with my babies to start over. I will always hold them both dear to my heart.
