Valerie,

you will always be in my heart and will be missed.
May God bless your soul and make you part of paradise.

Rest in Peace. 

Went to University in the 1980s with this wonderful, beautiful, bubbly person.

Although we worked hard in the 3 years that we were there, we shared lots of fun, laughter and adventures along the way. She made such an impact on all those who came into contact with her and it is such a pity we lost contact over the years, I having moved to live in the Caribbean.

When I returned to the UK last year, I tried to locate her to no avail. However, she had never left my thoughts, as I often spoke to my husband about her and our uni days. Only this week, I tried again to research her online and imagine my devastation when I found this webpage advising that she has now passed away.

I was heartbroken, as I really wanted to catch up with her and to find out how she was doing all these years and to share my escapades with her.

My heart goes out to all her family and friends. She will be terribly missed and will make a wonderful angel. I know that she is looking down on us.

Forever in my heart.

Karen Jones

I met Valerie through Antonia.  I didn't realise at the time that she (Valerie) would play such a pivitol role in my life. We met Valerie in 1987.
