To the family,
My Mom and Dad, Art and Georgie Ridley, were very good friends of Val and Marion’s. My mother worked with the RCMP and it was there she met Marion and so began a long friendship. The four of them travelled together mostly when going to Reno or Hawaii.
Val was a lovely kind gentle man who treasured his dear wife, Marion. I spent many a meal with them in my younger day and am grateful for those special memories.
