My sincere condolences to Ms. Valerie’s family. My prayers are with you <3
My dearest Valerie,
I happened to walk by your hallway today and saw your office door open. Naturally, my gaze immediately focused on your chair behind that dangling piece of plexiglass. For a brief second, I thought I saw you sitting behind your desk and look up at me. Needless to say, it hurts my heart that you will nevermore be in your office. I will miss visiting with you and talking about everything and nothing. I know Jesus was waiting for you with open arms the day you departed this earth. Enjoy His presence and His glorious kingdom; you’ve earned it. Love, Mona
My deepest condolences to the family I worked with Valerie at the Isaac School District and she was such a caring and dependable person always willing to help others out and truly cared about others my prayers and thoughts to the family
I miss the conversations we had during school hours. I only met you in August 2019, but it felt.like I’d known you for much longer. Though your family and friends are hurtinf right now we find comfort knowing you were called for a higher purpose that we will understand in time. Thanks for always having the coffee pot ready to brew. We will light a candle for you.
My condolences to all her family and friends. She was truly wonderful to work with. My prayers for all. so sorry
Miss Valerie, I will miss you and our conversations so much. I’ll never forget how tears rolled down your cheeks as I was describing to you my husband’s afflictions. I realized at that moment what a big heart and caring soul you have. Please continue praying for him as pray for for your daughters and grandchildren.
‘Till I see ya again Miss Val, thanks for all the prayers.❤
You were the last face I saw every day as I headed down the hallway to the parking lot – always a smile and a wave from your desk as I headed out. You always allowed me to ask questions to be a better mama to my baby girl, and I never will forget your tears of laughter the day I asked you – What are edges and how do I slay them? Thanks for all you did for our class and for me, you will be missed so much, but my heart is happy knowing someday I’ll
See you again my friend.
