I had the pleasure to work with Val at Helen Newberry Joy Hospital in acute care. She was very competant and kind. I learned much from her. She gave so much to our community outside of the Hospital setting. She will be sorely missed. Keeping the Robinson Family in my prayers during such a difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Valerie's family. I went to school with Valerie at Greenville General Hospital. We enjoyed so much seeing her last year at our class reunion.
