Val, the light of my life for the last 35 years has been you. Now my light has been extinguished. Our Father knew it was time to call you home. Life will never be the same, but you and God will want me to be strong, hold my head up high, and keep my faith alive. So now that it is what I will do. My love for you is greater than I can put into words. You know that I will have to live with only your sweet loving memory until I see you again someday.
