“I am not exactly sure what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ Rather he will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?’” 

– Mother Teresa

Val and her husband have raised 10 children, many with special needs. Most of her children are adults now and have moved out. However, if she had a chance, Val says that she would happily do it all again. She says, “I may have to find another husband, but I personally would start all over again.” She also has three dogs. In her free time, Valere enjoys cooking, canning, music, and helping her children and grandchildren.
