Condolence: So sad to receive the news of my old friend's death today. Valerie was the warmest human being alive. I have many memories of being with her and am so glad we got back in touch in the last years of her life. I will miss her passion and humor. My sympathies to Michael and Jeremy and to her grandchildren. She loved all of you very much.

Condolence: Valerie was so dear to all of us here in Tennessee . We loved her visits here and seem to always be engaged in lively conversation. She invited me to NM several times and regretfully I did not get to make it. I know she had many wonderful friends there and if you want to share a story with me , feel free to email me. Our sympathy to children and grandchildren and sister . Cousins Ed, John @ Beverly.

Condolence: Jeremy, Michael and Family, We are very sorry to hear that Valerie has passed. I am so grateful to have met Valerie and to have experienced her beautiful smile and laughter. She loved and is loved. Our thoughts and prayers for strength, peace and serenity are with you all. The Bells
