My sincere condolences to Bill, Margaret and family. Val was truly amazing. She was upbeat and didn´t let bad circumstances bring her down. She always looked for the silver lining. She was also so funny and had a great sense of humour and style! I remember helping her pick out outfits and matching jewellery at nights when I worked at Brightwater for her to wear the next morning. She liked to look pretty! She loved telling of her travels in the past which included climbing Uluu in Australia amongst many other loved places, especially Castlepoint which the memory of was special to Val. I will never forget her, she definitely added a sparkle to my days at Brightwater. I wish you Godspeed Val, thank you for all you have done for me. Love Becky
