Val Mathieson

The Moffat family look forward to remembering Val with other friends tomorrow. Val and Rob were great friends and neighbours for 5 years, and continued to be friends after we moved a couple of suburbs away. They suffered through us getting a dog, and then having 3 screaming babies over the years with big smiles and were always so friendly and welcoming. Val used to cook and bake delicious treats for our afternoon tea catch ups and was always passing on great tips for all sorts of everyday ailments. Val knitted me cosy sock-shoes for winter, and made me really useful cloth bags which are still in use today. She always had such lovely treats for the kids. At one time we worked in a similar part of the city and would catch the bus home together. We would have such a good chat and laugh all the way home. Despite Val's ailing health over the years, she remained positive and upbeat, strong, determined and always, always maintained a great sense of humour. My parents who used to fly out from the UK to visit us developed a great friendship with Rob and Val which continues today. Val and Rob used to take Margaret and Pete out on adventures around Brisbane. The photos below are of a trip to Mount Coot-tha. They remember Val very well and miss the WhatsApp chats and jokes that she was so good at passing on. Margaret and Pete will be with us in spirit at the gathering tomorrow and send their love. Val will always be remembered with much love by the Moffat family and Margaret and Pete. 💗
