Celebration of Life - Valerie Baddorf - Sunday, July 27
The ukulele community has lost a good ukulele player and former member of the BUG leadership team, Valerie Baddorf. Condolences to her family and friends.
From Art Baddorf: Thanks to all that have reached out to our family to express their condolences on Val's passing. It has been very comforting to hear and read your messages about what Val meant to you in your lives.
We have planned a celebration of life for Val where we would like you to join us in remembering Val and the amazing life she had. Laughter, tears and music are expected. We have allocated time for you to share any stories or memories you might have of Val. Food and drink will be provided.
If you have any photos of Val that you would like to share, please upload them to https://www.dropbox.com/request/egMy1raKYHVQLM0ONQzG or email them to me at <[email protected]>.
For those who are unable to attend, we are going to have the celebration available for viewing through Zoom (see link below). If you would like to share a story or memory of Valerie, either send us a printed copy which we will read or a recorded video message.
To assist us in the planning, please send me an email letting me know if you plan on attending.
Also, please share this information with any of your friends who knew Val, as I may not have their email addresses.
Hope to see you for the Celebration.
