    I have only just heard the very sad news that Val has passed away. Although I only ever met her on here, I felt that she was a true friend. As others have said, she was a lovely lady, always there for others with kind words and understanding. I will also always remember her wonderful sense of humour which shone through in so many of her posts.

    Thank you, Mell, for posting about Val's death. I know how sad you must be feeling to lose such a good friend.

    My condolences to Val's husband, and all her family and friends.

    Joan

    Val had arthritis and she cared for us all so very much as we did her. She was the true meaning of Arthritis Care and we shall all miss her.

    She was a very brave lady.

    Some pink flowers of farewell for you Val, no more pain now, rest in peace.

    I notified Len yesterday via e mail and although he doesn't stalk these halls anymore he knew Val and wanted me to post these words for her.

    If I had a flower for every
    time you made me smile
    and laugh I'd have a garden
    to walk in forever.

    RIP my dear friend.

    I read this yesterday and I've been trying to think of the word that could describe Val. I can think of lots of little words like amazing, beautiful, lovely, strong, tenacious but there just isn't a word big enough to describe our gorgeous Val. Much loved and much missed. Have peace lovely wonderful lady xxxxx

    Sorry all Ive been up to all sorts here, I tended to think of Val as a very wise owl, she took me under her metaphorical wing when I washed up this forum shores way back in 2008, And what amazed me about her is she never had a bad word to say about anyone ever, she just didn't go there, and more astonishingly even when she was gravely ill she always talked down her suffering to protect others around her including me, that is just how Val was, totally selfless even when she was gravely ill God bless her. :cry:
