Bill and Valleen were such great people. I remember many Sunday's meeting after church and having lunch with them. After Bill passed there were still many meals with Valleen and she was always so kind to our family.

Velleen has a very special place in our memories and in our hearts.  God blessed us with a beautiful friendship with her and Bill. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

I've missed her so much these past few years. I talk about her often, sharing how much she meant to me. She taught me so much and loved me through some tough times of life. Praying for her amazing family, you all are so very blessed to have had her in your life all these years. Rest now in His loving arms. I know you are excited to be in the presence of our God.

I remember spending the night and going to church with the Smith family when I was in elementary school. Great times.   Mrs. Smith always made us feel special.   I am so sorry for your loss.
