Valerie Craver

I am so glad my father had a sister Valerie, she was my aunt but she meant so much more to me.

The gentle spirit of the Grand Dame of the Shaker Square coffee shop will always be remembered.

To all of you mourning this beautiful lady. Mrs. Craver was one of my mother's best friends and I have known her since I was about 3 years old. My best memory of Valerie was her laughter...her smiles...even when the world was weighing heavy on her, unbeknownst to most of us. And she always knew how to throw a shin-dig together. I am sure whatever comes after this trip here on earth that she and my mom, Jane, are somehow talking about the good and the not so good times. I miss her, yet I...

To My Second Family:
Losing Mom is soo very hard for all of us - her sparkly smile and her wonderful laugh will be so truly missed. Her zest for life was so wonderful and what a wonderful role model she was - she smiled all the time no matter what - I will never forget Ritz Crackers and Cream Cheese and the love she just poured out to me for all the 46 years I knew her - she will always be My MOM also -

I pray for comfort for all of you during this time -it is so hard to lose...

Dear Cousins,

All of you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. I feel the lost of a Mom is one of the hardest kinds to deal with, so seek out comfort from your family and friends. Even though we are many miles apart our heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you.

Love,
