Harry and I were co-workers and friends in California where I had the great pleasure of getting to know Valeda. She was an Angel that I was blessed to have touched my life. Thank you for that Val. I know everyone that knew you feels the same..

We first met Val when she was staying in Harry's new house, which is next to ours, in Cedaredge, CO. From the start she was so friendly and fit right into our community here. She was always doing something--either pulling weeds or cleaning or all sorts of things at his house...she certainly was not the kind to ever let grass grow under feet! Then when she moved into her new home herself over here in Cedaredge, she & harry did amazing things to transform it! I'm so glad that she got to be here in this beautiful spot in the world and near her Harry during the last year or so of her life! We will always remember your delightful spunk & energy! What a gal! I do imagine that she must have lived life to the fullest!

We will always remember our times together in Colorado. Always wonderful spending time together. Also the wonderful memories we have of Valeda and Gene in Sarasota.  Those were "fun times"

Love Kala Sheckler  (AKA Ken's wife)

Val was a sweetheart full of love,and energy. One of my favorite memories is she was so determined that my third child was going to be a girl, she made the most beautiful yellow dress full of ruffles it was gorgeous. My son was unable to wear it, we all laughed she worked so hard on it. That's how thoughtful and caring she was. She did get to make some little dresses when Scarlettina was born. Val you will be forever in my heart, my love and sympathy to Harry and the children. Love, Deb McCoy

I was very fortunate to have been a big part of the Gebauer Family. Growing up with Harry as my friend, meant Val as another Mom. She always made me feel welcome at their home, and well loved. Val kept an extra eye on us, she was engaged in what we were doing and always made sure I was fed. I have many fond memories of Val, she always went out of her way. I will miss her she was a wonderful wife, Mom, Sister, Grandma, and Great Grandma. I was proud to have her for a friend, and I always felted cared for when she was around. Love, Doyle McCoy

"Death is more universal than life; Everyone dies but not everyone lives." Valeda, you have done both. Great memories.

Val will forever be in my heart.  She and I became instant friends when she moved here (Cedaredge) two years ago.  We shared, laughed, cried and counted on each other for most everything in our daily lives.  She was the most genuine lady I have ever met.  I pray that God keeps Val, Red, and Phillip in His warm grasp for eternity.  I love you and miss you so very much!
