• We are deeply saddened by the passing of Val. Val was such a precious friend. A total joy to be around. Never down, always up. The love she showed for her family and friends was like no other. She was so caring and thoughtful. Just looking around our home, we see many gifts Val so lovingly and thoughtfully gave to us. Each with its own special, personal meaning, we treasure dearly. When we think of Val, our hearts smile, with many fond memories of endless laughter and beautiful moments. She was a first class lady and we were blessed to have her in our lives and honored to be her friend. A poem for Val. "She was a princess, a super lady to know With all the niceness, in her heart and her soul Loved life, loved to laugh, her stories she told And generous she was, had a heart made of gold And so about her life, lets rejoice and be merry In our hearts, her memory we'll carry" Love Barb Westnowski and Warren Browne - Posted by: Barb Westnowski & Warren Browne (Friend) on: Aug 30, 2014
