I have so many fond memories of Valerie. I remember when I went to her house and she would cut my hair. We would be talking away and she would be cutting away…..I learned that I had to stop her from chatting or I wouldn’t have any hair left. She was a dear friend and will be very missed by many. Rest in the arms of Jesus, Val.

Chick, I am heartbroken to hear this. I worked with Val during her entire tenure at Discover. She was my lunch partner until the day she got sick and had to stay home. I was the VP of her Piss and Moan Club. She attended several outings with my fire company auxiliary. I truly regret not seeing her since my retirement. I loved Val and will miss her more than ever. May God carry you through this difficult time. I am truly sorry for your loss.

My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love Mary Lou and Bill.

I know that Val is with our Heavenly Father, but I can see her in my mind’s eye sitting at a table with her parents, smiles on every face, being served a big steaming plate of her dad’s homemade gnocchi… welcome home, Val.
