One year today we said goodbye to a remarkable woman. Val's memory continues to be a beacon of love and strength for all who knew her. Her kindness, warmth, and unwavering spirit touched so many lives, and the lessons she taught us remain with us each day. Though our hearts still ache with her absence, we find comfort in the cherished memories we shared and the legacy of love
she left behind. She will be forever be in our hearts.
Love Chris, Christine, Joanne, Maria, Debra, and families.
