One of our favorite local trips was to shop at the Wild Bird Unlimited for the best bird seed then eat at California Pizza Memorial City mall. They have the best wild mushroom pizza in Houston. Wonderful day trip and it happened every couple of months. Val or Ben would call and say the Goldfinches are here and we would go!

Frank Sinatra sang My Way but Val lived it. She is one of the few people to pursue happiness and joy full throttle every day. We should all learn to follow her example.

I was so sorry to hear about Val's passing. She was such a sweet and creative person. She loved her friends and family and will be missed.
