Val was a sweet, funny firecracker! She was always asking me how I could work so long of a shift(12hrs) and then tell me to go out and have some fun and quit working so much. Lol She always made me laugh with her stories and her laugh was contagious. You will be very missed, my friend!! Til we meet again…
