You are a shinning light Val. Thank you for all you have done, you are a great solider. I will constantly keep you in my prayers. Rest in God's arm, so well deserved my friend xxx Margaret O'Loughlin
I came upon this notice by accident - and I know nothing happens by accident. I had the absolute privilege of knowing Val over a number of decades and always found her to be forthright, friendly and warm with a wonderful wit and a fabulously cheeky grin to match. She was a faithful friend to those of us in the south (going back to the "central" days) and will be missed by a great many of us. Thank you for your input, lovely lady.
Dear Val, the most generous, kind, humorous and straight talker I have ever worked with. Clever, organised and a great listener. Thank you Val for your company at work and your patience teaching Chris and I the bagpipes!!! Rest in peace.
