Dear Val's family - have just come across this obituary. We have been checking as we wrote to her in January and hadn't heard back. Really sorry to hear that she had died - you must miss her terribly. She was such a special person and made a great partnership with Dave.
Nigel and Liz Butcher (Dave and Val close friends of Ivy and Roy Butcher).
