The world lost a great guy far too soon.

I wasn't really close to you, Val. We only knew each other from the pickleball courts. Everyone always told me what a kind person you were and that you always had a smile on your face. That's what I'll remember most about you—you always had a smile.

I'm so sorry about your dad as well. I know you're together in heaven now.

Rest in peace. ❤️
