My love and prayers go with you, the family, on behalf of the loss of Valerie. From the time she was a little girl, she could be found at my home when her mom was looking for her. Kids were free to roam the neighborhood safely then. She became like another daughter within my family. She was loved and cared for and loved our dog “Hot Dog”, a dachshund. Our memories will sustain us during our grief and after also.
