We have very fond memories of Valerie growing up in our teens. We would spend many a time around Brian and Valerie house as our best friend was Mike. She was a very caring women with a fantastic sense of humour - Valerie, Brian and the rest of the family would always make us feel welcome! We will always cherish those moments.
Love to all the family, we are thinking of you all!
