Val Urello
There are so many I cannot possibly pick one good one. I have known her for over 50 years. she was my second mother. Through all those years growing up she managed to keep her composure when faced with many many things which occurred. My fondest of course is the somewhat huge party we had at their house without their knowledge. It was a masterpiece of parties. We managed to acquire approximately 250 people from all over the united states. One of mine, and Shers, Kathy and Peggy's best event! We all should have had event planning on our resume but chose different college degrees. It truly was an event to remember. It was a little touch and go when my mother came over the next day to assess the damages. The next day we kicked out approximately 10 people who were currently sleeping in Auntie Almas and Uncle Jacks bedroom. The only problem was we did not know who they were! When we came clean - approximately 10 years later she gave us the smirk she always used to display her dismay. But fortunately we were by then too old and all had our own residence by then. But that smirk was always there when she showed dismay/amazement. Those are the things that memories are made of. And we had plenty! It was not a good time when scott hid the liquor and then blamed it on Sher and us. But we all took one for the team. The making wine with the grapes was a little touch and go. And there was no other like Thanksgiving at the Halls! The food! The ALCOHOL!! Oh My. I am happy to say that as they aged I had the same fondness and more memories. They never disappointed. Whether I was 10 or 60 they always welcomed me into their home and treated me as one of their own. They were good friends with my parents. They were one of the best matched couples I ever had the opportinity to meet. I will always feel blessed to have had her in my life, I have and will miss her dearly. She was a fun crazy girl! Those days have been long gone but will forever be with me. I am happy she and uncle Jack will not be united. I am certain they will be partying with my parents like old times and beginning a new journey. My condolences to the entire hall clan. Loss is never easy and we must take solice in the fact she is reunited with her love of her life. Love you auntie Alma!
