    I was saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your beloved mother. It was a blessing to our family when Val and Albert found each other. They had a happy life together and we were all enriched by so many wonderful family memories. Your mom was a very special person who cared about others and always lit up the room just by being there. I always thought if I lived closer that we would not only be family but we would have been friends. Val will be truly missed. May the love that surrounds you give you strength during this difficult time and may the memories you cherish bring you peace. Love alway, your cousin, Alida xxxx
