Val was a treasured friend. Her intelligence was only surpassed by her kindness and generosity of spirit. The strength and depth of her love for Jean was obvious. My most sincere condolences to Jean and all who loved Val. She will be sorely missed.

Missing our chats and our laughs together…her talents and her spirit knew no bounds. My deepest sympathies to Jean and all others who knew and loved Val.

Very sad to hear of Val’s passing. She was an amazing individual; kind, generous, lovely soul. My deepest condolences.

I had the privilege to work closely with Val for several years on the executive of our local union. Val’s deep understanding of social issues and equity, her ability to educate and debate, her unbelievably quick wit, and overall intelligence were instrumental to my growth personally and professionally. I will be eternally grateful. The world is a better place because of Val. My deepest condolences to Jean and family.

My sincerest condolences to Jean and others who knew Val. I worked with Val for a period of time and she was one of the most intelligent, caring and wonderful fellow Admins.

Valerie was a valued, integral part of our team. Her wit, intelligence and her ability to compose short stories and poems were amazing. She will be sincerely missed.

Jean you were definitely the love of her life…together you were rock solid! Together you were able to face challenges with perseverance, dignity, and respect…
My thoughts and prayer are with you Jean

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of Val. She was an amazing, funny, kind and exceptionally talented person. I enjoyed working along side Val on some projects at work. She will be missed. Take care of yourself and each other.

I first met Val when she joined the agency in an administrative capacity in the Bradford office. Besides her professionalism and the skills she brought, Val’s smile and quick wit made her an asset to the team. I knew that if I needed support or a shoulder to lean on during those tough days, that Val was there – without condition, willing to listen and just be in the moment with you. I have missed seeing that big smile of hers. Rest well Val. Deepest condolences to those she left behind.

Rest in peace Val. Val always greeted you with a smile and always took the time to have a laugh and chat no matter how busy Val was. My condolences to friends and family.

My deepest sympathy for your loss of this bright light. The memory of Val’s amazing smile and kind heart, will stay with so many who were fortunate enough to have known her. May your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time, and know that her sense of humour and happy spirit, lifted everyone she came across. She will be missed.

Val’s kindness and quick witted sense of humour will be missed. She was a very talented individual. My condolences to Jean and all who loved Val.

Very sad to hear of Valeries passing, I was her psw for a long time, many laughs and wonderful visits, Jean my heart goes out to you!

The news of Valerie’s passing has been very emotional. My heart breaks for her lovely Jean. I have had the pleasure of spending very personal time with both Jean and Valerie for many years. This sad event has reminded me of all the time we have spent together, whether we were chatting about our beloved animals, new paint designs, scrumptious coffee or what we were having for dinner that night. Hair days are going to be missing a beautiful, artistic soul. I am grateful for all of the years of memories but am glad that she is now at piece, no longer in pain and watching over all of the people that she loved so dearly. You are not ever gone, just not as you were before. I’ll be watching for signs. Jean I love you lots, you are in my heart and I am here for anything you need.

Rest In Peace Valerie!

You were a precious, kind, thoughtful, smart, funny and a very special soul. I feel blessed to have met you and spent so much time with you. Two of my favorite memories with you and Jean are; Your royal wedding party, we has so many laughs, it was such a wonderful experience and your wedding, I was absolutely honored to be a part of it, you and Jean were stunning.

Jean, my whole heart goes out to you. I can not imagine what you are going though. Valerie was your person, your love, your life partner. I am happy that you and Valerie had so many wonderful years and experiences together.

I will always remember Valerie, she was a beautiful human.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about Valerie’s passing. It was such a shock and reminder how precious life is. Val was funny, smart, insightful and always had a listening ear as I droned on about worries or frustrations I had. We always had a chuckle over some silly thing but her good nature always ruled the day. I loved watching Val and Jean talk to each in that special language that two people that have loved and cared for each other for a long time. My deepest sympathy Jean. Val was one of a kind. I will miss her !

I will always remember Valerie as a vibrant, intelligent and caring person who I had the pleasure of getting to know through work. Her infectious laugh, her bright smile and her creative and thoughtful approach to everything she did, are just some of the things I miss. Jean, my thoughts and condolences are with you during this very sad time. Take good care.

Valerie you where an inspiration to all that had the pleasure to meet you in this lifetime. It was an honour to call you my friend. Throughout your battle with cancer you always had a smile on your face and continued to enjoy life to its fullest. I will miss your laughter, your intellect, as well as your genuine love for life. I will miss you my dear friend. Love you forever.

It was a pleasure to have first met the two of you under a misfortunate situation ( flat tire) but we sure built a friendship from that day. I consider it an honour to have known Valerie and called her a friend and was saddened to hear of her passing. I loved her laugh and sense of humour. My deepest condolences.
