Was very sad to hear of Valerie's passing. We went to school together and then were neighbors for several years. I'll never forget getting the kids off to school every morning, then all of us Moms having coffee together before getting our days started. Valerie always kept us laughing and I have so many fun & happy memories of her. My deepest sympathy to all the family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Valarie's passing. Our fathers worked together when we were little and years later we went to high school together. I probably haven't seen her for 40 years but will always remember as a kind and generous person. My sincere condolences to her family.

When you have a friend like Valerie, you have a forever friend. Although I moved to Florida, we never lost touch.. Valerie wAs one of a kind.. Everyone loved her wit, her spirit, her heart.. I feel like a piece of me went with her..
She leaves behind so many who loved her....My thoughts are with her family that was the center of her life...enjoy those wonderful memories of Halloween parties, family dinners, children playing at her house.. Sitting around her kitchen table talking.. And sharing all our joys and sorrows
