Erin and Family,

I may have never had the chance to meet Valerie, but I know how deeply she shaped the people who loved her. Her spirit lives on in you and in your entire family—in the stories you tell, the values she passed down, and the love she poured into each of you.

Even though she has moved on to a place of peace, her presence will never fade. She will always be with you, carried gently in your hearts, guiding you, comforting you, and living on through every memory you hold close.

Please know that my thoughts and love are with you and your whole family during this time.

To many words to describe the Most important person in my Life. My Mum.
Not only did she give me life, but she taught me how to Love with my whole heart and respect our planet and all living things.
To live frugally, simply and
to always look on the bright side of life.
She was so Funny and just a lovely little English lady with the heart of a Lion. She was a very spiritual person and she fully believed she was here with a purpose of helping others. And she did just that, always putting every person she loved, every pet or stray before herself.
She did not have a need for material things. Her wealth was in her ability to care and share. I will be forever grateful for all the wonderful memories and fun times and support through tough times. She was always there for me. A daily call or visit when I least expected it. She was the Best Nanny my kids could have ever had. I am not sure why her beautiful light had to leave us and linger so long but I do know her great Love for her Family was a hard thing to let go. She fought a long hard road to now be free and shining down on all of us as a memory and a reminder of a life lived well and so full of the one and most important thing LOVE.

Love you forever, Tracy Ann
