Crescent, IA Wednesday, June 3, 2015 I knew Val personally as a co-worker at Noll Human Resource Services for the short time I was there. However short the time was, she made for the warmest welcome there. A genuinely kind and caring person and co-worker, Val made work interesting. Truly will be missing her and know she is now in the place where there is peace everlasting.Brett Caskey

Omaha, NE Monday, May 18, 2015 Knew Val most of my life. She and Dave married 3 months before Cheryl and I in 1978. With Josh and Kate, they pulled into our driveway, purely by coincidence, in 1981 on the first day we moved to Lincoln. Don't know the details of your passing, but I'm sure my brother Pud was there to greet you in heaven with a warm Fremont welcome. Respectfully-KupNancy Wilkinson-Nielsen

Omaha, NE Saturday, May 16, 2015 I'm deeply saddened to hear of Val's passing. Though her and I haven't been in touch for several years there was a time when we were very close. She was one of the few genuinely good people I have ever known, and the world was made a better place by her presence in it. My and my family's hearts go out to her father Virgil, and Kate and Josh, her children. We will all miss her terribly.Jessica Sullivan

I cannot begin to express my sympathy for Kate, Josh, Virgil and the rest of her family. Valerie was one of the best people I have ever had the privilege of getting to know; I have thought of her fondly, and often over the years. May God wrap his loving arms around her family during this impossible time.Sending all my love and prayers,

Omaha, NE Friday, May 15, 2015 Heaven received another angel to sing in the choir. I met Val down at Redneck's when we were both taking line dancing lessons. We had such fun. My grandson and I saw her in plays and we both loved her voice. Val, I'll also remember the dinners we had together and the dancing. Bless you.Lisa Tegtmeier
Omaha, NE Friday, May 15, 2015 Val was one of the sweetest souls I have ever met on the face of this earth. She always had a sunny disposition, and would light up a room with her smile and laugh. I worked with Val for years and always looked up to her for having such a postive attitude and for just being a nice person. It breaks my heart for what she had to endure over the years, but she did it with such style and grace. Val, you were a wonderful person and will be very missed!Lisa
