I only knew Valerie as Mike's Mom. He always spoke of her with love, joy, and a little mischievousness. One could say we knew Valerie through the happy, generous person that Mike grew up to be, and that he always carried her in his heart. She must be so proud of him.
Good job, Mom.
Keep an eye on Mike for us.

Valarie was my 'second mother' after my mother passed away. I have many fond memories, spending many holidays at her home. Thanks for being so caring and understanding!
