    “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.

    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.
