Valerie was always kind, helpful, non-judgemental and an anchor for me. She was like a dear friend. I am so saddened to hear of her passing.

Insightful, gifted and rare, Val is a true healer; concientious and devoted to the needs of her patients. She will be missed more than words can say.
Sincere in her caring and treatment; Valerie was more than generous with her time, she gave when I had nothing, treated me with respect, understood and truly listened to me. I value her wisdom.
Its hard to accept and understand why an extraordinary and beautiful person like Val, has been taken from us too soon...
Thank you Valerie, you will not be forgotten; your work and tireless efforts in behalf of your many patients will live on in those of us blessed by your exceptional care. Love always, Stephen

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Oh, Val, I have that pain, that pain we talked about so often, that grief-pain where your heart feels like it's broken. I keep thinking about things we need to talk about, but I guess we'll have to talk about them some other time. I miss you terribly, and I have a feeling I will every day for the rest of my life. Thanks for holding the other end of my string. I love you.

Val, you always lit up my face when I saw you. You have this quiet radiance about you that I've never seen in anyone else before. I personally believe that you were to good for this world Val. I will miss you greatly. You were not just a health provider, you were my friend, and my second mother. I can't tell you the many people who I have seen walk into your office that you have helped. Valerie I will miss your sweet radiance that made me smile and laugh, no one can replace you. Take care and I hope that one day I may be as good of person as you. I love you..

I was able to work with Val and experience being her peer. She was always helpful and compassionate and many will miss her sincerity and caring. She was devoted to her profession. So many people were able to benefit from her excellent care. She will be missed.

I am devastated at the loss of my friend and mentor. Valerie has literally saved my life. She believed in me when no one else did, not even myself. She stopped at nothing to help all of us. What will we do without her? No one will ever be able to fill her shoes. She's my angel now. I will never forget all I learned from her and all the love she gave. Thankyou Valerie. I will always miss you. You will be in my heart forever and ever. I love you, Julie V.

I was without words when I heard you had left this world. The one thing that does come to mind now is, thank you Valerie. Without your help and friendship I don't know where I would be today. Many will miss you but many are better for having had the chance to know you.

Val was one of the most inspirational people that I have ever come in contact with throughout my lifetime. She wasn't just health care provider but like a second mom that came to the major events that surrounded my life. I have never met an individual who was as giving as her. She is irreplaceable and will be missed greatly. Remember Val that we will always love you and hope that you will still guide and inspire us even though you are no longer present physically. We love you! See you in the next life.

I was a patient of Val for over 10 years. She helped to keep me stable through very difficult times and I came to care for her very deeply. I was greatly saddened to learn that she has passed away. Her family and friends already know this, but she was a very special person.

Valerie is my friend, counselor and confidant. She is loved as if she were my sister for the last 5 years. I feel she is still watching over me, and still listening, but her physical presence will be greatly missed.

Val,
It will be hard for anyone to pick up the now broken strings, left undone, unknit. You left so suddenly. So many hours and years you were there for me, so deep the bonds and trust. "G O S H," I miss you so much! "What about Bob?" Hope you are ok now, and that your friends, patients, and family will recover from the tragic loss of your comforting presence. I am so sorry you are gone.
