I’m deeply saddened, shocked and heartbroken to hear that such a wonderful caring, kind and loving friend has been taken from her amazing loving family. (How very hard it must be for you all) Val I cannot count the many times you were there for me, Colin, Matt, Jamie, Sam, Joe and Pearl in some awful times in our lives, and also so many happy times long ago but still treasured. Seems like only yesterday we were comparing our baby bumps together, like a couple of bookends, how we laughed. Life has so many twists and turns, but what I would have given to have been there for you for a change. Wrap my arms around you and tell you how much I loved and valued you as a beautiful friend. You passed the same date as Colin 5th December . So I will place an extra rose with him, for you my lovely friend. He thought the world of you too. Reach for the stars Val, it was our song x Love Jan x

We are truly heartbroken to have heard such sad news of a the beautiful Val passing away. We were blessed to have known her and spend some great times together. Thinking of you all. Sending all our love now and always xxx

Auntie Val I’m still shocked. I have so many memory’s of holiday and get togethers from when I was younger so many happy moments that make me smile that I will never forget. I bet you are telling my mum about all your beautiful grandchildren. Sending love and hugs to uncle Bri, matt Emma Laura and Ryan we love you all lots sorry we are not closer ❤️
