Never have I met someone and instantly felt as if I had know them and laughed with them for years...except Val...some 30 years ago. "Duke" I am so sorry for the loss that you, your children, and grandchildren are experiencing.

Tranowski Family,
I am so very sorry to hear the news about Val. I have 50 years of wonderful memories of Val being the big sister to Mary Kay who adored her; of Val being Queen of the Sports Bobbleheads on 99th St., of Val being the eternal optimist with her beautiful smile and disposition, providing guidance and love to all. I have witnessed her as a devoted daughter to Jack and Kay, a caring sister to Jim and Mary Kay, a wonderful mom and wife, and the best grandma to her grandchildren. Please know in this difficult time others are also mourning and will miss her. May your special memories of her bring you comfort.
Love, Tusch

Rick, Brian, Jackie, Matt, Mary,
I feel so sad, I can't imagine how you must feel. Val has been part of my life since I was born ~ I can't believe she's gone . Growing up Val and Mary Kay were like big sisters to me. I have so many great memories of life in their house. Val was so fun loving with a warm easy laugh that always made me feel welcome.I loved her and I will miss her dearly.
love, Marianne
