I just left a memory within the last hour. I wanted also to upload this picture of our wedding of which Valerie was a part. Oddly enough, 
 My sister was maid of honor (she passed in 1999. Bill, Bob's best man (he is standing behind us) is gone. We are now in our 80's and cannot be surprised when friends pass away. Still, it is sad because we know what a wonderful lady she was and therefore know how much you must miss her. She was so much fun to be with. I still find it hard to believe she is gone....but, she now is with Travis. 
Toni 

My name is Toni Brinster. I was a friend of Valerie's back in the day. We met at Ridgewood Secretarial School and became close friends along with others who also went to that school. Val was in my wedding. She gave me a baby shower in 1962. She and Travis, along with several others partied, attended each other's weddings, rejoiced when our children were born and mourned together when one of our friends, Barbara, passed away in her 20's. In 1968 my family moved to Fairport NY, so our friendship was relegated to Christmas cards, birthday cards and an occasional actual visit. I last saw her in 2007 when my high school class had their 50th reunion. We visited her and your Dad at their home in Hillburn. I knew how much she enjoyed being a clown...I found that fascinating. I just found out about your Mom's passing today. I had no idea. I sent Val an e-card for Easter and it was returned.  My heart hurts for you all. She was a wonderful friend to me and dearly loved you all.
Toni (Ross) and Bob Brinster

Valerie,
My prayers and Love to your family.  
Val we all miss your friendship and the passion you had for the Hillburn Seniors.   
You had given your all to us and we will miss you at all our meetings. Your book keeping was superb, 
We had good times and great laughs. 
 You are sadly missed.
May you rest in Peace. 

Love Roberta
