She did my laundry and made me blueberry pies all through college.
She listened to me cry countless times about missing my parents and siblings.
She let me use her phone to call them in Germany.
She reassured me of His Love.
She scolded me when I was getting sassy.
She drove me everywhere.
She took me to every wedding dress fitting.
She threw me a wonderful wedding reception.
She got along famously with Dirk.
She always sends me a birthday card, even though its during Christmas season.
She gives of her time, money, and prayers in extraordinary ways.
She has been used by Him to provide for our family and little church more times than I can say.
She has shown me that I shouldnt beat myself up about being a "Martha".
She is a constant example to me of the Sufficiency of Christ.

I am honoured to call Val my Godmother.
Happy Birthday. I love and miss you.
