In loving memory of Val King

To my dear Aunty Val, Saying goodbye has come too soon. You were a role model to me in so many ways, generous, vivacious, intelligent and unashamedly yourself. Thankyou for sharing your love of dancing with me, and knowing how to party, and your demonstration of what it was to be a friend, to me, to my parents, and to my dear Aunty Faye. I hope that your star continues to shine down on us all, as you party in the sky. With much love, Renee

A neighbour and friend to my family, all my life. Her spunk and individuality were unique. She was incredibly funny, kind and generous. I just loved and admired her quirkiness. There will never be anyone like Val. We all miss you terribly. Love, Carol, Dave, Georgia, Lachlan & Victoria

In celebration of Valerie's wonderful, extraordinary life. This fiesty funny neighbour of my Father-in-law, forever in our thoughts and prayers. Andrew & Bruna Norrish

Our Dear Friend Val , Who accepted this mere tradesman into her life and enhanced the life's also of Virginia and daughter Renee along the journey. Her sense of fun, honesty and openness is a rare quality that some people don't appreciate. Val's love of the arts and her talents were truly amazing from the backyard blitzes, her photography styles, the lady behind the camera at friends function's, the interior design in her lovely home, and the warmth of a sharing and caring lady. The love for her beloved cats ,the love of her life and jokes and fun eg dancing, music, parties and her need to know more about the age of the computers and the modern world she was living in and she loved cars especially red ones. Val may have passed onto a better place but her influence upon our lives will last in our hearts forever. In Gods Care ...............
