My prayers & thoughts are with Val’s family. She was a dear friend & will be missed.
So sad to lose a classmate. Rest in Peace, Val. 🙏
Val,you have made a mark on lots of people’s lives..You’ll be missed by many and rest in Jesus’s arm’s now..Your friend,Marilyn “Cook”,Bull..
Sending love and peace to you dear friend!
Val was a great inspiration to me. The group of us working together became a “gang” of campers, annual rained-out picnickers, canoeist, Christmas party celebrators, etc, etc. What a time we had together! To me, God put us together to become an everlasting family of friends. As believers in Jesus, we shall meet again. See you in Heaven. ♥️
Rest in peace sweet Val.
I was there in spirit, watching the mass live-streamed from my home in Portland, Oregon. Aunt Val wasn’t a big fan of technology, but this ironically allowed me to participate how I could, mid-school week and recovering from a flu. Easter was “her” holiday for many years and it was fitting that someone who sacrificed so much in the name of Christ’s love would pass away on Palm Sunday. I will miss you and your example of sister, wife, widow, cousin and aunt.
