Valerie Thomas, Val to her friends passed away at 5:36 AM on the morning of September 8th 2006 - she was only 66 yrs old.

I miss you mom, there isn't a day that goes by without me wanting to pick up the phone and hear your voice. My dreams are filled with happier times, my days are filled with a longing to see you. My wish is to turn back time.

What can I say about my mom... she was an awesome lady, a doting grandmother and loving wife.

Nothing was ever to much trouble, she was my friend and was always there when I needed someone to talk to.

She had suvived breast cancer for 5 years before the dreaded disease came back undetected and spread to both lungs, liver and bone. She was taken from us a short 6 weeks after being diagnosed.

She died at home with her family embracing her, we talked to her and hopefully comforted her right up until the end. I thank God she didn't suffer very long.

She leaves behind a husband David, son Paul, daughter Lynne and 3 grandsons, Dewi, Matthew and Conor. My mom also has 2 wonderful sisters Mary Thorne and Mavis Jones who were both devastated by her early death.

Before she retired, she worked at the co op in Merthyr where she made some wonderful friends.

I'd like to thanks all those who attended her funeral, your presence was noted, and much appreciated.

To all my friends in the States, thanks for the kind words and the hugs.



"While Waiting for Thee"

Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
