Not sure what to say?

Val, my goodness, if you could see the state of the world right now- it's not pretty. I'm sure we would be talking about it over drinks or dinner. Can't believe it has been a decade...I sure miss you. xoxox

Remembering you Val. Your contributions to many. Words of encouragement. Always willing to give great advice and a listening ear. Gone but not forgotten RIP my friend!!

Even in first grade in Roslyn Heights, NY Valerie was special. Last week, gathering material for what might be a memoir, I found in my earliest notebooks I found, "In 1st grade I had a crush on Valerie Gladstone." She turned out to be much better looking than me and a better writer.

Dearest Val, the world has been set on fire since you left us. Discord practically every day. You wouldn't like it very much if you were still here, though I don't doubt you'd have plenty to say and write about it. Miss you, my friend.

Blessings!

Your memory will always be cherished and legacy always kept alive. RIP my friend. RIP!

Blessings!

Another year and your memory is just as strong. I know that they are many the fruits of your mentorship and labor. You encouraged many. Your are now with the Angels. Sleep in peace.

Valerie, time marches on. I was 14 when we first met and now I'm 35. How I miss you, your wisdom and our coffee/dinner dates..... I hope you are free of pain, my friend....
