Valerie, I have struggled as to what to write. We were so close in age spent most of our lives together with some good as well as sisterly fights. Your passing is a shock. You are missed daily but, not without thinking of our younger years of fun as kids. Playing at the slough on the "Flintstone" chairs, and catching bullheads and thinking we were better then the boys!
Our crazy teen years with you being the "Good" one, dad would say "if Val is going, you can go. Little did he know we were both up to no good!
Then the kids came, I already had two but we both ended up pregnant at the same time, me with Beau and you with Justin. Only you...
The rest is history, my children loved you as do I. Rest in Peace Val,
Rest in Peace, Cathy Christensen Black and family.

Valerie,
Your passing was sudden, but the memories you left behind will never leave our hearts.
We loved your independent spirit, your smile, your love and devotion to your son Justin and your grandaughters Isabella and Penelope.
In loving memory,
Kay Burroughs
Howard Burroughs
& family,
Pat Harding & Family

When you left, I lost a part of our past, our present, and our future.
Sisters have unspoken uniqueness throughout a lifetime of shared memories, each with a different path traveled through time. With your sudden passing, it leaves so many words unspoken, with the gift from heaven you will still hear them.
Love Sandy
