Kirsty Bernier wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Valerie Leanne Appleton. Russ and family, I am beyond words to express my heartfelt condolences. As you know, Val and I went to school together from grade 8-13. Years later, I was pleasantly surprised to meet up with Val at King Capon. From that day forward I looked forward to seeing Val when she was on site. There is nothing easy when it comes to dealing with grief. I’m sorry that you lost your wife and that your kids lost their mom at such a young age. Kirsty”
