"To the family of Val,I had the pleasure of getting to know your Mother when I lived in Lake Charlotte. Val was such a kind, loving, fun and good spirited lady. I would bring her and your Dad, Rudy meals at least once a week. I always left their home with so much more in my heart than I could ever bring to them.They are loved and missed by many!"
