We ended up right by Valerie's office the other day and my family and I talked fondly about her and the impact she made on my life. I have a dream catcher ornament we put up on our tree each Christmas to remember her. Miss you Valerie. Sending love to the family.

I was reminiscing about Val and her extensive knowledge. For example she always said not to take medications with carbonated beverages. I can’t remember why but I’m sure somebody else does, so I don’t. . She also told me that getting a root canal there is residual root left because the dentist can’t remove it all and becomes necrotic. I’m looking at the possibility of having one but remembered this and will absolutely not. Just a couple of things. Having some sadness today and remembering the good times we shared. I think you’re still hanging around the universe and wanted to tell you 😘

I’m so sorry to be hearing about your mother’s passing, Erin. She was one of the sweet And most generous people I knew, who helped and befriended a brand new teacher living in a new town. I love that I got to know your family for a couple of years.

On one of her birthdays, my mother made Valerie a Red Velvet cake, the most delicious cake 💕 My mother always made sure we celebrated our ‘natal days’. Our lives and growing up together wasn’t always the perfect days, but our birthdays were special. So I celebrated her day today with a Red Velvet cupcake in her memory. It’s difficult to believe that she has passed and is not with us physically. I do know that she is around us and guiding us. Happy Heavenly Birthday Valerie.

Not a day goes by where I don't think of Valerie. She made such a difference in my life. Through my journey with chronic pain, I have yet to find a doctor and friend who cared so much and would be an advocate for me when I didn't have the strength to fight for myself. I miss our talks. I miss her wisdom, care and friendship so much. Hope the family is doing well. I think of you often in my prayers too.

My memories of Valerie when she was in college and moved to California, she always kept in touch with us, especially her mother. She was very consistent is sending cards with a little message of what she was studying and doing. When she was in Colorado we took some time to look through the box our mother saved with all the cards and important newspapers (especially the papers that mentioned the Broncos). I don't think that she ever threw anything away that was sent from the family. It was a walk down memory lane for Valerie, she read every card she sent and commented on where she was and what she was doing at the time. She took time to remember her mother, and it was very much appreciated for us all.

I just found about Val's passing, I'm in shock and so sad right now :(
She was such a wonderful light, she had so much valuable knowledge and wisdom in the health field and would always make me laugh with her infectious smile. We first met at an EFT workshop back in 2011. I immediately felt like we were kindred spirits, we had so much in common and for some reason she affectionately reminded me of my late "Aunt Sandee."
Despite living in different states, we stayed in touch after our workshop ended. We would stay up late talking on the phone, dreaming of ideas to change the world, laughing into the night. I visited her once in her clinic in Vacaville when my youngest was two or so, she helped us figure out right away that he was having allergies to dairy, it was an immense help. I last saw her in 2019 when I was in Sacramento, it was so good to see her, she always blew my mind with what a wealth of knowledge she was. We stayed in touch more often after our last visit. I've been wondering where she's been, I feel terrible I didn't find out until now. 😢😢😢
I'm so thankful that I got to know her on this side of earth. She touched and improved the lives of countless souls, but especially mine. If anyone can tell me more about her passing I'd be incredibly thankful to know. Rip Val, you were a rare light in this world....you're light will always shine on.

Remembering Valerie on her birthday today and all throughout the year. Valerie was my very good friend and the woman I trusted with my health and the health of my children passed away unexpectedly. She was a true Patriot, a freedom fighter and a fellow recall warrior who put others health before her own. Thank you Valerie for everything you have done for us and so many others. I’m so grateful for your friendship and guidance and I’m so heartbroken that you left us so soon. I know you are watching from above and will be protecting us all as we continue the fight. Rest In Peace my friend. 🙏🏻♥️

I absolutely love this photo, it captures her joy! I valued meeting Valerie and sharing my challenges of my son’s health and getting amazing advice.
We also laughed over stories I shared about commuting to work with Erin!
I am praying for her family and their peace as they cope with losing their mom and grandmother on this worldly earth!

Goodbyes hurt the most when the story is not finished! May our memories of Valerie bring us comfort and peace! I will always think of Valerie when I use my microwave! 😊

My cousin Valerie pierced my ears when we were in our early teens. She used a needle and thread, she was very gentle. I remember no pain or blood. Perhaps she found her calling at an early age.
One week-end in our early teens I spent the night at Aunt Sol`s house and Valerie, Patty and I had the bright idea to tee pee a house in the neighborhood. Needless to say we got caught (we weren`t very sneaky) and had a good talking to. The next day we had to clean-up the mess and apologize to the neighbor.
In the late 70`s or early 80`s my son Josh and I visited Valerie who lived in or around San Francisco. She was the best tour guide. We saw Alcatraz and Fisherman`s Wharf. We drove down the crookedest street . We visited Ghirardelli`s chocolate factory. Valerie was a gracious and fun host. We had a wonderful time.
I regret not keeping in contact with my cousin Valerie. Now, she is home with her family in Heaven and her Spirit is always with her loved ones still on Earth. She is missed.
Love. Cousin Karen
