I met Val when she was a regular guest at McNally Robinson. She showed me all kinds of photos from her days of travel :) She couldnt speak well, we had our own dialogue. After i left the Cafe Val and i met for dinner and a movie and i wish i had maintained more of a close friendship with her. She was fabulous. I've wondered of her and if she was still with us. I'm saddened to see she has passed, but happy to know she's in a better place fully mobile to be free as a bird. RIP Val, you won't ever be forgotten. - Posted by: Bronwyn (Friend) on: Dec 10, 2012
