Valerie Holt

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Val was my dear friend with whom I was privileged to share many memories,from grade school, Brownie and Girl Scout meetings, countless afternoons spent in the little house on Endicott Rd, looking at her collection of matchbooks, talking, talking, and more talking. And laughing! And then there came high school, parties in her very cool basement, the annual Christmas fair at her Unitarian church where her father Chet was a masterful Master of Ceremonies, the great dances her youth group hosted, cheerleading angst, philosophizing, and more talk of boys, boys, boys.....Lucky for me, our friendship survived college and distance, allowing me the privilege of being a bridesmaid at her wedding to her handsome, charming Coast Guard officer Biff. Through the ensuing years of all her relocations and our children's arrivals we managed to still stay in touch. I envy the friends of her later years who got to know Val in a more mature relationship. We were all so blessed to have her in our lives. Rest in Peace, my little one

Sincere condolences on your loss. May fond memories and loving words comfort your family at this difficult time. (Isaiah 57:15)

Dear Biff, Ben, Adam, Josh, Rachel and families,

I am deeply saddened that Val has left the earth. She was a very sweet spirit who added much loveliness to all who crossed her path. May the wonderful love that she had for all of you give you strength and comfort during these very sad days of mourning. It comforts me to know that the world was made much better because she came into it. She was a great blessing to all who were fortunate to have known her.
Much love to you all,
Dian Pekin

Valerie was a classmate of mine from Parmenter thru Arlington High graduation in 1965. We lived in the same neighborhood and shared many childhood friends.
I remember when we got our Polio shots in elementary school, Mr. Cameron,Principal, carried Valerie down the stairs to the gym. Boy were we impressed.
My condolences to Valerie's husband and children......see you in the great beyond.
