Mrs. Valli was my elementary school bus driver and her son Dirk and I were good friends when we were growing up. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by many. God bless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Jean....one of a kind.
She proved that driving a school bus was more than a job, it was a true adventure.
She touched lots of lives while hauling East Hampton's most precious cargo.
Can you count the number of school bus drivers in the area who learned the routes with Jean looking over their shoulder?
She touched our lives and we were blessed to call her friend.

May God give you all the grace and strength to face the days ahead without her.
