I spent a week in Branson with Val as my roommate, and came home just loving her. One of the sweetest, generous persons I have ever known. We also spent many Red Hat luncheons enjoying each others company. I will miss her and her love for everyone.

"Hey, you guys....", the greeting that used to precede that huge great warm smile. That's Val. We had the pleasure of knowing Val for just under 20 years, but they were 20 years filled with joy and love from a truly wonderful women who welcomed as into her family with open arms. We went from strangers from the UK to friendship in a matter of seconds, which reflects the warmth and kindness Val had in buckets. We will miss the hugs, big smiles, laughter and confusion over our strange accents. There's a big hole in our hearts. Clive, Jo and Sam Copeland
