Val was such a lovely lady and a wonderful member of the Tai Chi class we both attended. I miss her warm, gentle manner. My deepest sympathy to her family
Fond memories of our many years at Kaikorai Primary School in the same class, followed many years later by our catchups at ongoing Reunions. You are remembered fondly and with love from your old classmate Joy Jenkins (nee Hooper)
