Sincerest sympathy in the loss of

your loved one. Though I didn't

know her personally, I had occasion

to speak with her while she was at the Fed. Be proud for she walked

with assurance and pride. God's

speed.

To the family of Valerie Owens

I was sadden to hear of the loss of your love one, such a sweet, loving, beautiful, kind, and understanding person (my friend Val). When first meeting Val at the Federal Reserve we became friends/lunch mates because she was a special kind of person. We shared many laughs, good conversations in general and about her grandbaby (Shania), her trips to Florida to visit her girlfriend Joyce over the telephone and at the lunch table. Val was just an all around person and she will truly be missed by all; her memories will forever live. May GOD shower special blessing on you now and forever more. John 6:47 says "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life."

Last respects to Val? I doubt this "last" business. We, Greeks, say that a person lives forever if she lives within our memory. Here's to you Val: I'll never forget your kindness and friendship towards this foreign girl who felt so much alone away from her own country, nor your humorous comments whenever I felt the need for advice and guidance. By and by, girlfriend. By and by.

Ms. Owens

I don't believe that there is any other daughter-in-law on this earth that could be as happy as I to have a mother-in-law like you. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. You were a mother and a best friend to me. I don't know where I would have been today without you. You were always there for Shania and I if and whenever we needed you. I will miss our daily telephone conversations and our weekly sunday dinners. Shania will definitely miss you. You and Shania were two of a kind. Everyone who knew you knew that Shania was the beat of your heart. I want you to know that Eric and I will take care of her and that is a promise that we will take to our graves. My heart is hurting so bad...everyone is telling me that it will get better, but I can't see it. Maybe I don't want to see it. I don't know what I am going to do without you. You were the backbone of our family. There is no one capable of stepping into your shoes. I want you to know that I love you and will continue to love your memory. I want to let everyone know that you were one of a kind and there will never be another like you. GOD has just gained himself one of the most graceful and classiest angels ever. Until we meet again Mom.

Love forever
