I didn’t mean for stuffy to be displayed, my apologies. What should have been there is “a tough one” again, my apologies

Val was my sister-in-law for many years. She loved to laugh and have a good time and we raised our children together and my heart broke for her when Jr died. His death totally broke her spirit and I don’t think she ever recovered. I wish I could have helped her more to get through that horrible time in her life. I’m so sorry Terry and Ron, she is missed.
