Val & Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Poochie was on of a kind that will never be forgotten.

Take Care of each other now.

Poochie,we had some really good talks over the last few months.I remember the day I found out about your illness and how when I got home from work I went straight to your house to talk with you and we both just cried.From then on you were such an inspiration with your attitude and you touched so many lives.You were very special to Mary & I as I'm sure you were to alot of people and you taught us how valuable good friends are,especially when you are going through a battle such as the one you had.I enjoyed so much the last day you were able to leave your house and we went and did all that shopping for those things you felt you needed.Every place we stopped there you were doing what you do best,touching people's lives like the shopping clerks as we checked out and leaving them with a smile on their face.(You made their day).You told me numerous times it was up to me and the rest of us Christmas decorators to carry on the tradition and if possible put some decorations on your house.Well if allowed your neighbors will decorate your house,I can assure you of that.That's the least we could do for someone who did so much for others.I'll always remember how you eneded all our conversations over the last few months.You would always say, Me And the Lord are gonna work this thing out until the end.Well there's no doubt in my mind that you and the Lord worked it out and everything was settled.We love you and God is truly blessed to have you home with him again.
