So sorry to hear of Val's passing. Lots of laughs working the evening shift with Val at SMC Radiology. She always spoke with great admiration of her daughter and mother. Rest in peace Val, my prayers to you and your family.

Val, I’m so glad I was able to talk with you a few weeks ago over the phone when picking out your wig. You will be deeply missed. I’m glad you are no longer suffering.

Val, I am so grateful that mom and I got to speak with you several weeks ago before your treatments began. You sounded like you had more energy and your sense of humor had returned, which I always loved....you and mom had that same sense of humor! Will miss talking with you, and mom is very very sad.
Will see you in heaven my cousin.....

Condolences to the family. Was saddened to hear of Val's passing. We worked together for many years in the Radiology Dept. and kept in touch on and off over the years. I have such fond memories of times we spent together. Rest in peace Val...

So sorry to lose Val. She was a special lady from a very nice family. Such a short retirement for her but she is now free of all pain. Helen, Stacy, Margaret, and her many friends will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. NGB, hope someday that we will all be together in a better place. Peace for Valerie, her family and friends.

Rest in peace Val. I will always remember our horse riding days at the barn and a few visits at your home. Your baby Moon sure was a beauty and you rode him well.....

So sorry to read of Val’s passing. I worked with her many years ago at SMC and still spoke to her over the years. She never changed, soft spoken and funny. She had been so happy to finally retire. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
