    Mary & Family- I am deeply saddened to hear of your mothers passing. We were just chatting at the Cancer Center a few weeks ago. She was such a lovable and kind person. She always spoke so proudly of her children. May God embrace you in comfort during this difficult time.

    To all the Valkosky family so saddened to hear about mom. We worked so close together at Wintersville Ch of Christ when I directed the music and Ruth played piano. She will be greatly missed by all at the church. You are all in my thoughts and prayers but we all know Ruth is in the arms of Jesus and will play her piano for eternity. Calvin & Dorothy Wise
