Miss Valarie was a Dear Kind woman. I enjoyed our late night talks when I worked 3rd shift at Brighton Garden. She shared many stories with me about her children and her beloved Andy. I will miss her and will always have fond memories of her. To her family I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
