Valerie J. Dodge

Dana and Family,
So terribly sorry to hear about Val’s passing. We have the fondest memories of her. Her smile lit up the room. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so blessed to have been introduced to Val over 20 years ago. She was like a true "breath of fresh air"-one of those rare people whose gifts in life appeared to be uplifting others, spreading sincerity and kindness, and just being an easygoing companion. Val was very bright, kind, generous and always ready with her special laugh or thoughtful words to help lighten the load of others. If you crossed paths with Val, you found a lifelong friend...rest in peace, dear friend, and know that...

Always upbeat, smiling and caring. A wonderful person and friend who I saw far too infrequently...

I graduated with Valerie. My deepest condolences to Dana and family. My God bring them Comfort and Strength.

My dear friend Val was a rock at times in my life when I needed her stable, common sense and incredible sense of humor. She and I were co-workers at Cole-Haan and friends for over 40 years. We had wonderful times together and fun gatherings at Val and Dana's house (time capsule anyone?). Valerie was an invaluable treasure to me and I know what kind of strength she had. I am sorry for this tremendous loss and send sincere sympathy to Dana and Family. I am certain she is with God, and that...

I will forever treasure our high school friendship and our time together. Val was always positive and kindhearted. When Finlay and I met Dana and Val in Maine a few years back it was like old home week. Sending my deepest sympathy to Dana and her family. Dana and Val shared a beautiful love story that was genuinely inspiring.
Sending hugs.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
