I share with Theresa to lament your passing. At the same time, your current abode is far better than your previous address. A day will come when in our Lord’s presence we will all gather. Until then, enjoy your time in His presence.

Val was Beautiful, and the banner over her was Love. Her smile, her greetings always made you feel loved. I will miss her presence on this earth but I know Heaven is rejoicing on her arrival. Love you Val-

Valarie and I became close friends nearly 15 years ago. She is my BFF. I will truly miss her. I’ll miss our “good mornings” to each other. Rest in heaven Bestie where I do believe will be your new home. You were a strong woman of God you served the Lord well. I love you!
My prayers and condolences to the family
Your bestie,
