Shelly, my heart breaks for you. I was so sad to hear of Val's passing. Talented, charismatic, a gentleman. He made such an impression on me and I'm not easily impressed. May his memory be a blessing. My thoughts are with you.

Shelly and Joseph, we´ve lost one of the very good guys, but nobody feels that loss more than you two. I respected him and his work, some of which hangs on my walls. His memory is a blessing, and may he know God´s peace and eternal life now. I´m so sorry.
