Memories and Condolences

Dr Vallee was a wonderful dentist to our two children Devin & Megan. They never felt scared to sit in her chair even when she was about to give them a "mosquito bite". She had a kind and beautiful way with the children. Her crocs will never be filled. We will miss her.The Daley Family

I only worked for Dr. Vallee for a few months. However those months I will never forget. She was kind and caring and I will miss her dearly. She did so much for my children and for me. I will never forget her and her generosity and I will carry her in my heart as long as I live. My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband her children and all her family and friends. She will always be remembered for the great work she has done for so many people.

Dr. Vallee was an amazing human being. Without her my daughter would have suffered way too long. She became our friend as well as our dentist. I am truly sorry for her passing. She was one of the best of the best. Susan Gerald of Groton, CT

My children always look forward to their visit with Dr Vallee as if it is a special treat. (My daughter even had a cavity AND an extraction, but because of Dr Vallee's skill and kindness, she was never afraid and even wanted to know when her next appointment was.) They both NEVER knew the dread sometimes associated with dentists. Her fun techniques and kind respect for my children instantly won my trust and admiration. Though we only knew her in her professional capacity, we feel like we've lost a friend. She will be deeply deeply missed. Our hearts go out to her family and colleagues.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Dr. Vallee's family and staff. We have been blessed to have been her patients since 1995 and we will never forget how kind and wonderful she was. May God give you all comfort at this time of sadness.

Every girl growing up should be so lucky to have an older girl in the neighborhood just like M.J. She was the big sister I otherwise never would have had. What a loss. My heart goes out to her husband Bob and her daughter Kimberly, and to her younger sister and my dear friend Ann Marie, along with the rest of her family.
With tears in my eyes,
Mary Sullivan

Dr. Vallee was my children's dentist for many years, until they were too tall to fit into the chairs! She was an extraordinary dentist, and an even more extraordinary person. She was kind, considerate and caring at all times. Dr. Vallee has left a great void, both professionally and personally, that can never be filled. Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, and her wonderful Kimberly (of whom she spoke constantly!)

We hardly know what to say, having just recently heard of the illness that meant Dr. Vallee could no longer work as the dentist for our children. She gave us such good service as a dentist and went above and beyond anything anyone could have expected with us as a new adoptive family with children who had grave dental issues. She was so kind and supportive. We will miss her greatly. Our condolences and prayers are with her family at this time.

Someone we love has passed away. We are filled with hurt and sorrow, but we must go on. She would want it that way. As her employee and friend I will miss her. She has done so much for my family and I. I will miss seeing her face when I go to work. I will walk in that office and remember her. Thats all I can do.

Dr. Vallee was ahead of her time in pediatric dentistry. Her gentle and caring ways with the kids will be sadly missed. After being with her for 16 years I am going to have a hard time trying to find someone esle for my children who is as wonderful as she was. To Adam and Kimberly I am so sorry for your loss

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Vallee. She was absolutely fabulous with my children, Ava, Lily and Olivia, and made it a pleasure to visit her office. When it became obvious to me in January that she was ill she was never far from my thoughts and I prayed for her recovery. She will be truly missed. My deepest sympathies to her family, friends and co-workers.
