VALERIE DIED JUNE 6, 2000 IN A CAR ACCIDENT
IN WHICH SHE WAS A PASSENGER.  SHE WAS 
ONLY 19 YEARS, 4 MONTHS AND 4 DAYS OLD. 
ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED. 

PLEASE, 
THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK.
DON'T DRIVE.
KEEP YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ALIVE.
 
 

Valerie was a wonderful daughter. She was kind, loyal and
thoughtful. She was stubborn, messy and opinionated. She
was my starbaby and I never doubted how much she loved 
me and her family. We are so proud of Valerie and all that
she accomplished in her short life and are having a great
deal of trouble going on without her.

~VALERIE'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION- 
~1999~
~NANCY, VALERIE & GERRY~ 

 
Val was wild about wolves. She had begun collecting and we are continuing it.  Many of her stuffed animals went to live with her friends and some were donated. I think Val would like that.  She seriously began collecting when she  was three years old and every Christmas and major holiday--she didn't care if she got anything else--there had to be a stuffed animal.
 
 

 
 

~SOME OF VALERIE'S FAVORITE THINGS~

~VALERIE - 13 YEARS OLD~

 Val loved storms--the wilder, the better!

Val loved music--the louder the better!

The silence of the phone is deafening.
I would give anything to have it ringing constantly again.

Val liked her brew.
.
Va's real favorite was lasagna.

Val loved all animals but especially cats.

~Val's Philosophy~

Have fun while you are young.

Valerie packed more living into nineteen years
than many do in ninety. 
She was wise beyond her years 
and knew what was important in life.

 

 
 

~THE CORD~
~Author Unknown~

We are connected, 
my child and I,
by an invisible cord, 
not seen by the eye.

Its not like the cord,
that connects us "till birth"
this cord can't be seen, 
by any on earth.

This cord does it's work, 
right from the start,
the invisible cord, 
from my child to me.

The strength of this cord, 
is hard to describe,
it can't be destroyed, 
it can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord,
man could create,
It withstands the test,
can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
though you're not here with me,
the cord is still there,
but no one can see.

It pulls at my heart ~
I am bruised ~ I am sore,
but this cord is my lifeline,
as never before.

I am thankful that God
connects us this way,
a parent and child,
death can't take it away.
 
 

 
 

~I WILL REMEMBER YOU~ 
~ Sarah McLachlan~

I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

I'm so tired
But I can't sleep
Standing on the edge
Of something much too deep

Funny how I feel so much
But cannot say a word
We are screaming inside
Oh...but we can't be heard.

So afraid to love you
More afraid to lose
Clinging to a past
That doesn't let me choose.

But once there was a darkness
A deep and endless night
Gave me everything you had
Oh...you gave me light

I WILL REMEMBER YOU
