Valerie, I will miss you, but I am not going to say goodbye..because we will see each other again. This world will not be the same without you. One thing I remember the most about you is that you always put everyone elses needs before yours , and you could always make me laugh no matter how bad of a mood I was in. I am blessed to be able to call you my friend . I really wish we had not lost touch over the years..that is something I will always regret. You were a good friend and I love you and will truly miss you.

Valerie, I will always remeber the day when we were kids on FT. Benning and we had our little fight, bringing our families together as a family. Thank you for the memories.

I would like to express my condolences to the Choney Family. I had only known Valerie for eight or nine years, but it seemed that we had known each other for a lifetime. Val and I could talk about anything and everything together. Valerie was a very good friend, easy going, good natured and a free spirit. She will be missed greatly by all those that came to know and love her. Your friend.
