To Joseph all of Valerie's Family,

I am so sorry that Valerie is no longer in our sight here but I know she is with her Father in heaven and is reunited and probably joking around with her family and friends that passed before her.  Still I will miss her sweet personality and jovial nature. I was fortunate enough to have known Valerie for over 25 years as a neighbor and friend - we worked together  on many design projects too.  She was one of the most naturally talented people I've ever known!  She had an easy and light-hearted way about her and she loved to laugh.  She was  always generous, thoughtful and smiling.  She really loved her  husband Joseph and each one of her family and I know she would do anything for them. I am so sorry for your loss.  As a good friend who also knew and worked with Valerie said "Our lives are richer because we knew her." 

Kimberly, Timothy and Tiffany:

May the wonderful memories you have of your mother’s generous and joyful spirit spur you on to live a life of faith and conviction to her Savior Jesus Christ. I know she is very proud of all three of her children and would want you to continue her legacy of helping others.

 Sending my love, Cheryl Marvelli
