Val and I met at work and made an immediate connection. Our friendship grew into a wonderful thing which included our families. Her and Dex shared many holidays with us and we made many trips to the beach together
. Her and I would have girls trip to the beach often. We shared things together as "sisters". Val will forever be in my memories and my heart. RIP dear friend.

Valerie was a beautiful soul and so much fun. She always knew how to make me laugh and I loved her life lessons she was willing to teach me. She will never be forgotten and I was blessed to have her as a coworker years ago and friend. You will be missed Val.

Valerie was my son Brandons stepmom, but she was also a friend. We always looked forward to birthdays and holidays because those were the times that brought all of us under one mutual roof to celebrate our kids and each others relationships. We always got along. She was a beautiful and loving individual and she will be missed.

I and my husband, Ron Sr., were so saddened to hear of Valerie's passing last week. She was a vibrant and fun neighbor with a beautiful smile.
Our ongoing prayers are being offered to God on behalf of her husband, Dexter, and her family and friends that each will be comforted during this difficult time.
