Another year has gone by without us seeing that beautiful smile of yours. Some days are harder than others but every time I feel down I think of something silly you said or did and I end up laughing. I miss you so badly my "favorite white girl" I miss calling you that. :) Forever your "Chocolate Island Sister" Love Charlayne

Val,
When I'm missing you, I find comfort in the many funny and crazy memories of you.
I love telling Val stories with Ma and the kids. Thinking of your voice, laughs, jokes, and impressions always forces a smile on my face:)
Feeling your presence often and noticing your influences in our lives,
I know you are still with us.
Growing up, you were a huge part of my life and you still are
Lots of love for you, always.

Val, I cann't believe its been two years since you left us. Seems like just a few days since you called me. I'm glad your spirit visits me often, we sure have had some good talks the last 24 months. Thanks for bringing Grandma with you as you flitter around. I know you love your garden and appreciate all the helpers who have made it such a wonderful place to visit you. I hope you enjoyed reading all the messages everyone sent on the balloons to heaven. Missing you always, Love Auntie Vet

Val, you are thought of often. You've always gave me strength in my hard times, and when I couldnt', you stepped in, without me knowing. It's a silent gift you gave to me and my children. Just when I need an lift me up, one of them will mention you and something special you did with them. I hope you know how much I appreciate you being there for me when I couldn't. I miss you being there, for your family and mine. It is comforting to know that they are still connected. Don't we all just wish things could of been different. Now we have to keep on living, with what we have, make the best of it, together.
Thank you Val for all you've done. We miss you. Goodbye

Baby Girl, it's hard to believe but it's been a year since you left us. The pain was so unbearable I didn't think I would make it through. Being as generous as you were though, you left your two beautiful children behind to comfort me with their physical presence. You knew that as long as I had them with me I would get through the darkness. They are the two brightest candles in my life. Together we share our stories about you - usually ones ending up in laughter. We see and feel you working everyday in our lives. I wish you were with me as I grow old but I know we will again be together and boy what a time we'll have. I'll be wearing my dancing shoes. Love you , Mom

In remembering you every day, I think about how many people considered you to be their best friend. You just always had that way of making everyone of your friends feel so special. I would call you my "favorite white Girl" and you would respond by calling me your "chocolate sister" :). I miss everything about you girl. I cherish every memory of the fun times we had and i know you are looking down on all of us. Until the joyous day that we meet again, I say to you fly amongst the angels my darling. Love you forever.

Hey Val...
It's me Joey. You know.. Most likely the youngest friend you have. You taught me so many things about life and growing up. Ever since I met you, you have been looking out for me. Even still I have to say you are looking out for me. You want to know how I know? It's because I still think about you... All the time. It's so hard to see your mom... There is just so much there that reminds me of you. The way she looks, the way she talks, even the way she checks up on me. I can remember the last time I saw you... You were at the mall chowing down on some food before your next massage appointment... We talked and made plans for sushi... You know our little thing we would do together. After what happened it just took me so long to even go near that place again. But I thought to myself one day that you wouldn't want me to never have sushi again. It was one if the hardest things ever but I took a deep breath abd ordered our favorite. It brings tears to my eyes that you are no longer here physically anyhow. You were one person I would go to for answers and now I have to face things with the thought if you watching my every move and only the thought. What I am saying is... I miss you everyday more and more. But I have come to terms with what has happened and just look at the best of what once was. You know our relationship was sort of "you sratch my back and I'll scratch yours" because it's true. You helped me and I helped you. I'll see you again someday and maybe then we can follow through with our sushi date. I love and miss you so much and I promise to be there for your little ones like you were for me.

Happy Birthday Val! The big 30. The last 29 years I have always called to say that. This year you are with the angels, Granny Grumps, Uncle Chris and many more who loved you also. Now it is their turn to once again be with you. Keep Granny dancing. Catch all those notes and balloons coming your way. Wink when you get them, we will be watching the heavens for your signs.

Today on your birthday I am keeping good thoughts and gratitude in my heart. I bought flowers and tried to share the gift of your generosity with others. We have written you notes and sent balloons to you, even sang happy birthday. The kids and I are talking about the good times, as well as, how much we miss you. I am hoping they will always celebrate your birthday and not have it be a "bad" day for them. Because if it hadn't been for your birthday we would never have been given the wonderful gift of knowing and loving you and being loved in return. Love you forever, Mom

Val, I just cann't believe you have been gone almost six months. These have been the longest months for all the family and friends you have left behind. The families have all bonded closer because of you, the stories never stop,and your laughter and smiles are with us now and always will be. You still are making your presence known to many, no one misses the signs your leave. We all still talk to your bright twinkling star at night. Keep checking face book, new messages are coming in all the time for you to read. We love and miss you. Auntie

Valerie, you were the best massage therapist ever. I always knew that when I came to see you, you'd make me feel better! The last time I saw you was on my wedding day- when you gave me a massage to calm my nerves. I feel asleep! You always made by day, made me laugh, and made me smile. I always enjoyed coming to see you. May God bless you in heaven!

Val, I still cant believe that you are gone. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think of what we all have lost with your passing. But know this, Your children are well taken care of and loved greatly. You will be missed every day that goes bye. I still remember going to stay with you that one summer I got in a lot of trouble at school. That was a long summer for me. But it was good to get to spend that time with you. I am really glad we got to spend time at Six Flaggs this summer. It was a great day. I miss you so much Val. I went out last night and got a memorial tattoo of a butterfly with your name under it, on my arm, for everyone to see what you ment to me. Know that I will see you again some day.

Valerie Anne-Marie Blais ("where do you get the Marie from?")lol. I never imagined my life without you; Its crazy how we could not talk for a little while and I could pick up the phone and call you and it was as if time didnt pass. Whenever I had a problem you would genuinely listen and help me through it and follow up with me. You always were the one to come pick me up from Hartford at the Greyhound station and we would head back to my moms and she would have a meal waiting for you. Angelese and i were cracking up about Titi Linda's "Pointy wings",remember they were so hot for the kids and Demetris was wiping his mouth with the napkin to get the curry off his tongue. Those are the kind of times we had together, ridiculous and funny. Remember when we dyed our hair red with Kool-aid and we went to Tomascz party?I think my favorite memory is that night we went to a random fraternity party with Cory Smith and we had so much fun; we danced all night. Every experience with you was a non-stop party. You were my sister, my moms daughter and the funniest person I had ever met in my life. All my friends whoever met you were touched by your humor, you are truly unforgettable. I was looking forward to spending my old age with you and wearing ratty furs and riduculous wigs and make up and being those "old ladies that behave badly" as you put it.
Even in your death you're taking care of me. You have brought Amy and I back together, Youve made Jezzy and I friends and you have helped me appreciate my relationship with my mom and ; and you left me two beautiful little friends (Angelese and Demetris . I will do my best to be a daughter to your mom and Dad and a

I am in shock I just heard that you passed. I am so sorry for the lose in all your lives. I thought we had more time you were such a good friend to me. You made me laugh no matter how bad our day was going! I had never met anyone like you before and never will. you are in my heart and my prayers.
There is nothing I can say to ease your pain but I know that I am a better person for having known Val and I hope some day you can take comfort in that.

Valerie, I think about you all the time. I think about all the times we laughed a lot. You were so happy and outgoing. I miss you all the time. I am so happy that you were part of my life. And I am so happy that I saw you the last time I was home. You were beautiful and that's how I will always remember you. And your crazy dance moves and your funny jokes. Remember when I was home last winter, and you talked to Angelese on the phone? And then she said she wanted to talk to me. I was touched. She is such a smart girl. And Dimitri is beautiful(you know his name is greek right? ) :)
I will always have you in my heart and thoughts. Please watch over us and take care of us! Especially your beautiful children and family. With all my love Sophia....

Valerie, I am still at a loss for words when I think that I will never hear your beautiful voice again. I have so many childhood memories of us at birthday parties, sleepovers and school. I remember us trying to sneak off the playground to get penny candy at the corner store! You were always such a loyal friend and even though it had been years since we had talked, you looked me up and we got together...it was like days had passed and not years! I feel blessed to have known you. Your family is in my prayers. You will be forever missed but never forgotten.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Val's children, family and my nephew Willie you loved Val very much and was going to propose at my house in the Pocono's. I didn't know Val for very long however the times we were in each other's company she was awesome!!! Boy did she crack me up. She also taught me some things I never knew about my body...She was very well versed with the human body and loads of other interesting information. She was a pleasure to be around and welcomed us into her home with out a blink of any eye. Her children are so great also!!! I cannot not imagine what her parents may be going through right now. But do know that she was a bright light while here on earth. Look in the sky at night I'm sure she continues to shine in heaven. Willie you know I love you sooo much and so did Val. Love and blessings. Aunt Toni

My Dear Valerie,
You are the keeper of my memories. By loosing you, I feel like I've lost part of my childhood. Please help me remember all of the amazing times we've had together....
climbing our wonderful trees; collecting frog eggs at the swamp; exploring the woods; playing at Abenaki (I'm sorry that I skated over your finger); spending our summer days at Lake Winnipesaukee; and forever finding new outfits in the dress-up box.
Thank you for doing my hair and putting on my makeup. Thank you for teaching me how to play basketball. Thank you for showing me your dancing techniques. Thank you for sharing your music. Thank you for sharing your friends. Thank you for sharing your life with me. I love you so much and am so proud to be your sister.
Visit me now and again if you can.
I love you.

Val , I affectionately called you " My favorite white girl" everytime we talked and we would have a good laugh. I miss you so much right now I can't stand it. I'm trying hard to push on with life everyday cause I know that's what you would want for all of us to live life and be happy. It's so hard though. I'm glad that we always said I love you to each other after talking or texting. I will love you forever. Thank you so much for all the great times we shared. I will never forget our trips to St. Croix, St.Thomas and Miami. You were fearless. I laugh out loud thinking of the things we did. To all of Val's family and friends live life to the fullest. Val would want that. God Bless Everyone and Val "RIP" my dear until we meet again. Love always Charlayne aka Chocolate.

I never had the opportunity to meet Valerie. What a tragic end to a life that was so meaningful. My heart breaks for all the people in her life that loves her especially her two children. My daughter died five years ago, age 24 in a tragic car accident and she also left a son behind. I know the pain and hurt and I wish I could help take it away. Just remember your not alone, there are many people who care. Valerie's memories are tatooed on your heart and mind and there they'll stay forever! xo

With deep sadness, I offer my condolences to the family and friends of this young woman taken from them at such a young age. I never met her but her mother is a friend of mine and I feel her pain as though it were my own. May she rest in peace and may her family find the strength to carry on. God bless them all.
