Ray and Family, May The Lord sustain you during this difficult time. We are most appreciative of Val’s service to our community.
You and your family are in our prayers.
“Ms. Val” was a wonderful person, who always had a hug, a smile, and a sharp-tongued quip for me. In many ways, she reminded me of my Gram, and I loved her all the more for it. I am heartbroken for the Sanders family, and I will miss her terribly.
Our hearts & prayes go out to the Sanders Family during these difficult times. May you find peace in knowing one day we will all be united with each other in the Kingdom of Heaven. God be with you.
May the good lord bless & hold you during these difficult times.
My prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time, God Bless you and your family.
Our sincerest condolences to the family.

Ray and family, we were halfway back to Missouri when we got the word about Val. We are so sorry and shocked to hear this sad news and that we could not attend the services. You and your family are in our prayers.
