Just Remembering all the years All the Laughter All the Tears Shared with my No.1 Friend Talk with you later. Meanwhile sincere and special sympathy to all her family - she would have so not wanted to leave you.

A lovely and wonderful Aunty of mine, that always had a smile and a warm welcome for me, and that I loved to catch up with. Will be missed, but never forgotten. My condolences to my couzies and your families. May Aunty Val rest in peace.

(Ex Johns Road, Norfolk district) Sending my deepest sympathy to Val’s family, From Gold Coast, Australia.

A beautiful lady who will be greatly missed, My late husband Clive and I both worked with Val at the Salvation Army. We actually stayed at her place on our wedding night in 1985.. Rest in love Val

You will be greatly missed Val. It has been a pleasure knowing you over the years. All of our catch ups in NZ and Aus were so enjoyable. Rest peacefully. Judy and Duane.

A very much loved sister-in-law to Ian & Pauline Hitchcock and Aunty and Great Aunt to Dale & Paul Wood & family. So many fond memories.

A lovely great Aunt, always happy to see you, interesting stories to tell and a beautiful smile always. Love to you all xx

It has been a honor to have known Val. We will always treasure the memory of your stay with us and also having a shared birthday. Our heartfelt condolences to your family may you rest in peace in love and light

We will miss you Val and all our discussions over the years on the next good book to read. It only seems fitting then to leave you with a John Kerouac quote ‘There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars’. ❤️
