Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Author Unknown
I send heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you and the rest of the family.
Although I haven't seen your mom since childhood, I miss her very much. But I have faith that God is taking good care of her.
I love you Aunt Valerie

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be , so he slipped his arms around her and whispered come to me with tearful eye's you watched her,and saw her pass away although you loved her dearly you could not make her stay .A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest ,God broke your heart to prove to you he only takes the best.
Chris and Jarrett may god bless and keep you

To The Family of Valerie, dearest:
"Death is nothing at all; I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you - whatever we were to each other, that we are still...
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way you always used... Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed, at the little jokes we always enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me -
let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow in it...
Life means all that it ever meant; it is the same as it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity.
What is death but a transition?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near,
just around the corner... All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before... and oh,
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when We Meet Again...!"
(Rest In Peace, Good & Faithful Soldier)
