On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to extend our condolences to Dick, Cindy, Dawn, and Family, on the sudden passing of Valerie. She was a kind, gentle, loving, and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and cousin. As her younger cousin, who spent much of her youth in her Aunt and Uncle's home, I must say that Valerie set the precedent for all of us. In adulthood, despite physical challenges, Valerie's accomplishments were many. To quote Jane Goodall, a renowned primatologist, "Every story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new beginning." Heaven will be blessed with her presence, just as we were blessed by her kindness and love.
With Love,
Cousin Paula
