I met Valerie only briefly (buying furniture) but her beautiful smile and friendliness made her memorable. I am sorry for your loss and pray for her grieving family and children.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you.
My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your dear loved one. Losing a loved one is a distressing and painful time. We have assurance from God’s word at Psalm 34:18 that he is near to those brokenhearted and he saves those crushed in spirit. It is my hope that your family will find strength to endure during the days ahead.

I know Valerie was a woman of faith and her sweet spirit shine to those she would meet.
I thank her for sharing Nolan and Abby with me to teach...and we both said it was not a coincidence that we met.
Love you,
Missed, but not forgotten.
I was one of the lucky ones I was able to work for Valerie. And if you thought she was fun as a friend think how much fun it was to get paid and be with her. Valerie we talked for hours about when this day would come. You were prepared to face it with all the gusto you faced life with. Your unselfish attitude and love for your family and friends will help us make it these days and weeks ahead.
You never said why. Your with our God and he thinks your pretty awesome too. I love you.
