Dearest Marilynn I just received word that Val has passed away. I was thinking of you all week, and left a message on your p hone today, telling you I am gone for this coming week and will be in touch with you when I return from North Dakota. I am sorry to hear of your loss but I know God only takes the Best, so we have to handle life without them when that happens. Big hugs and I am sorry I won’t be here for your celebration of his life, as I am gone on Sunday and back the following Sunday.
