Wahwoe Valerie!!! It is hard to believe this will be the last time to great you like this until we meet in Heaven.
Gil, Andre and Family, I am sorry for your loss. I cannot believe Val is gone. I am still trying to process the news. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Valerie was a very loyal friend, remembering birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions by either a phone call, or a special birthday card, and most times, both. When Val would hear news about Oklahoma City, especially concerning our storms, tornadoes or earthquakes, she would ask Gil to email me or would call with her concerns about my safety. I enjoyed our visits when I was in town, and getting caught up with all the old neighborhood news. Hours would pass before we had to work our way off of our chairs and stiffly say our good byes until the next time. I am going to miss our getting together, who is going to keep me up to date with all the local news? Please say hello to your Mom, Dad, baby brother, and all the clan and give them my love. When you see, "Bert and Eleanore!!" could you give them a hug for me!!
