Val with her beautiful, dimpled smile and courage that she had shown throughout some extremely, difficult times during the 27 years that we were neighbors and friends. A loving, kind and compassionate soul.
I will miss sharing laughs, Val had such a boisterous, infectious laugh. I will miss her beautiful quotes from the Bible, her faith in Christ and never ending hope.
We had deep, long conversations and I know in my heart, that she is joined with her beloved Tom and her family.
Our last conversation we spoke of her children and how proud she was of them, the fine adults they grew to be along with their loving supportive spouses and her grandchildren. Now, they will have two parents looking after them always from above.
With our love and sympathy to her family,
Christine
Valerie will always have a special place and memory in my heart. Though she was my boss, I always considered her my friend! She was always there to listen or just to have a few laughs! Her love of the Lord gives me peace in knowing the angels of heaven are rejoicing as a beautiful new angel named Valerie arrived on April 1st. Some people
You just never forget and Valerie is one of them! My deepest condolences and prayers to her family! Love you Valerie!
Valerie was such a spiritual strength. The scriptural insight that she had was amazing. She provided me with much strength during a very difficult time in my life. I know she is in a good place and it is us that feel the sadness of her spirit not being with us. Valerie, I hope that you know how loved you are.
My deepest condolences to you all. May you find solace and strength in the beautiful memories. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you all.
I will long cherish the travel adventures I shared with Valerie. We both adored being grandmas and enjoyed swapping pictures and stories of our families. See you in Heaven Valerie.- Robin Young
