McCOMBE, Valda Mary. 15.2.1932 – 27.9.2017
12 months gone. It seems like forever. The joy of your presence. Your smile. Those beautiful bright blue eyes that shone on us. Your ability to strip away pain and give us love. Thank you our dearest, dearest one.
– Carol and Jonathan, Jacqui and Barry, your beloved son Joe, and our six grandchildren who grew up with Nana Val, Carthew, Josie, Thomas, Robbie, Virginia, and Nikki.
To my wonderful glamorous, feminine, Valda Peterson. 65 years of a marriage that took us down many amazing byways – of joy and some sorrow, but what a wonderful journey.
If only – just one more hug –
my Darling. My love forever, Peter.
