I understand that Val and Pam had taught this aerobics class for years before I moved to Cedar City and joined as a student. We had a great time exercising together in the Cultural Hall of the church to music such as” Secret Agent, Man” and other favorites. While we were resting, we talked about our lives and our families. Val often spoke lovingly of her husband, sons, and grandchildren. She talked about her sons’ successes and trials. She told us that she was pleased to be able to watch her oldest grandchild while her son worked.<BR/><BR/>Then, slowly, we became too busy with our jobs to exercise together regularly. We talked mostly on the phone when she was working at the dermatology office, which she greatly loved. She would always greet me warmly and ask about my family. She was a caring and talented woman with an out-going personality who saw the best in others. We are so sorry to have lost her. She will be greatly missed.<BR/><BR/>Anne Hawkins, MDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203304505499546462.post-66368190695378524252008-09-04T17:03:00.000-06:002008-09-04T17:03:00.000-06:00Ben and Bonnie-our thoughts and prayers have been ...Ben and Bonnie-<BR/>our thoughts and prayers have been with the two of you and your family.

Val was always full of life and lived it to it's fullest. She was beautiful, both inside and out and will truly be missed. My last memory of Val was at the parade on July 24th. We were in front of her family during the parade route. Val was marching with her ward "Kazoo" band. After some teasing from her family, she pointed and yelled, "That's my family"! It was apparent to all who were there that she loved her family very much and they loved her and were proud of her. She was a blessing to all who knew and loved her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203304505499546462.post-75584090005227636162008-08-28T10:35:00.000-06:002008-08-28T10:35:00.000-06:00What a wonderful lady.

I was in shock when Diamond came back from her weekend visit home to tell me about the horrific accident her Aunt Val was in. She also told me great stories of their time together, how anytime her Aunt Val got new skin products in she would call Diamond up to try them out on her and how she has a great family resemblence to her Aunt.

You and Val invited us out to dinner, took an interest in us, and were friendly. You helped us feel that we fit in. (I felt a special kinship to you because we were the two non-conformists in the ward who dared not to wear white shirts every Sunday!)<BR/><BR/>Later, when the furnace in our home stopped working, we called Val for help, and she sent you down with space heaters, and you fixed the furnace for us.<BR/><BR/>When I had to go to a dermatologist to be screen for skin cancer, I was so relieved to find that Val was my nurse. She and Dr. Ellsworth set me at ease and made me feel comfortable enough to tell them about other medical problems that they then resolved.<BR/><BR/>I had to move last year, but I am so grateful to have known you and Val, and your boys (Kadin is a great plumber and worker; I know you are proud of him, too).<BR/><BR/>I share your grief, but I also know that Val is in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father even as I write these words that I hope will speak to your heart. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25). Val was one of the most Christlike people I have ever known, and in my heart, I know she lives. I know that she received a hero's welcome upon her return home, accompanied by the words we all most want to hear at that critical hour: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."<BR/><BR/>May the Lord be with you and your sons, today and always. You're in my heart and prayers.<BR/><BR/>PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203304505499546462.post-34668548789756797892008-08-26T08:00:00.000-06:002008-08-26T08:00:00.000-06:00I am from SC & I wanted you to know that this ...I am from SC & I wanted you to know that this tragedy has reached across the US.
