To the Sutton and Albert Family:

I worked with Val when she was the office manager at RLA. My son Brendan was in kindergarten at the time, and I would come and volunteer in the office. She was very easy to get along with and it was a comforting atmosphere to be in when she was there. I enjoyed working with her and will miss her dearly.

I worked with Val at Impco until I left there and went to work for U of R. She sat at the desk right next to mine and never failed to make me smile and laugh. She was such a giving and warm person, and even as the years passed and I would run into her from time to time in various places, she would always open her arms to me and give me a big hug. She was truly the most wonderful person I was blessed to have known in my life. God Bless You Valerie, you were an angel on earth and now you are one in heaven.

Sheila Sutton-Pickett

November 26, 2007

THANK YOU all so very much for your kind words and prayers. It is very comforting to know, that so many people loved "V" and that she touched so many lives. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. You all will never know how much reading your entries have meant to us. It is still hard to believe that she is actually gone. Thank you all for taking the time to write down your thoughts and memories.

There are no words that can completely express the love and bond of friendship that existed between Valerie and myself. As you, her family, go through this time of bereavement, know that the lives that were impacted by such a vibrant, loving wife, mother, sister, and friend is like an eternal flame that will brightly shine always. Val I will miss, but she is with me in my heart, mind and spirit daily. May God continue to bless you and I will keep you all in prayer. I love you all, know that Val loves you "more"!forever and always.

There are many memories in life that will always remain.
Moments in time that can never be changed.
Favorite memories I can personally name are childhood memories......
A neighborhood filled with children at play...
While their mother's in a distance calling their names.
As we grow older and farther away...
We still often wonder about the others....
Hearing our accomplishments thru our mothers.
Even as time passed by and many miles are between - I have thought of your family often.
Now as we are saddened by the loss of part of the neighborhood family.....
I will always remember----our childhood memories........
My deepest sympathy to Sutton family....
You are all always in my thoughts
and in my prayers.
Much Love,

Priscilla Young

God bless!!!!

My deepest sympathies to Michael and Marquis and family. Val was a wonderful person.Very kind sweet and loving. I worked with her at Impco until she left, but she always came back to visit her friends, to share a joke, and grace us with her beautiful smile. She helped my daughter when she was going to college and shared a special bond with her. She will be missed dearly.

Valerie was a beautiful person inside and out. I had the privlege of caring for her in the earlier portion of her hospitalization. While caring for her she could make me smile just with her eyes as she flashed me a glance and followed it up with a comment and a smirk when she was on 616. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. Mike I know how much she loved you and you her just by listening to her talk of you and watching you at her bedside. She will truly be missed.

Val was a wonderful friend to me. She worked with my mother at Impco and I met her there during the time I was preparing to go to college. She supported me, encouraging me to attend her alma mater Southern University and beyond that, she did her best to make sure I was taken care of while in school by enlisting her brother to look after me. She was so sweet and so funny, she was genuinely warm and caring and I will miss her terribly. With much love I wish her family my condolences.

To Mike and Marquis and the rest of the family - I am so saddened to hear of Val's passing - she was such a good hearted person and I will truly miss her.
