Dear Alan and family, Sending my condolences on the sad loss of dear Val. I remember Val for her great sense of humour and fun she was great company. I remember fondly too her deep love for her gardening- and all gardens and her love of travel far and wide. Val was of course an amazing cook and loved to plan and host a feast for dear friends and family- we still enjoy her recipes she taught us. Val was a loving Nanna to her grandchildren- always so kind and generous- she had a heart of pure gold She will be sorely missed
