Time goes by but memories of a wonderful nurse and lady never fade, remembering Valda for many reasons I hope her family are well kind regards dorothy Lavallee.

Time goes by but Valda will never be forgotten her name pops up in conversations with other now retired nurses so many memories to share. She was a very special person and I learned so much from her. kind regards to her family from dorothy Lavallee

Hard to believe it is five years passed already. Valda was one of my favourite people, always spoke her mind, but in a tactful way, and if anyone spoke out of turn, she would give the Valda look, eyeing the person over her glasses... and silence would follow. Valda, you are missed, and never forgotten.

Time has a way of going by so quickly but Valda will never be forgotten by the people she worked with for all her many kind ways towards us she is missed.

Gone but never forgotten I have some special memories of Valda

Time goes by so fast but the memories of Valda do not fade she will always live on as long as we do she was a wonderful person.

I loved Valda warm friendly face . She made the best sweet potato pond
What i appreciate most about Valda was her kind gentle comforting words when my son was sick. Rip Valda

My condolence to the family.I can never forget Valda's (aka Tit) kindness and beautiful smile. Her kindness, generosity and compassion has left a tremendous impact on those she touched. My fondest memories of Tit included her being there when my family was in need and being the best nurse I every had when my son was born at Peel Memorial.

Rest in God's never failing hands. Our lost is Heavens gain.

So thankful for my years working with Velda at Peel Memorial. Her smile could make my day better no matter what. Peace be with the family for Velda is rejoicing with the lord

Mrs. Rickett's comes from a very special and important line of Black Women. In unfamiliar company she keeps her own counsel, but observes intently. Among peers she is sharp, strong-minded and often right. With friends, she can shows a very dry, very sly sense of humor. If she smiled my way, I felt that smile was well earned. When I was young, I never really thought of her as anything other than "Mom's Friend". But one day, when I was having a hard time in my 3rd year of university, she offered me some sharp, precise and extremely kind words of encouragement. She showed that she cared, and the only response to that was to pull myself together and get the job done. She believed in me, and so from then on I strive hard to life up to that belief. I'm am sad that she's passed, but I am so grateful that she was here.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to your family at this time.

Sincere condolences to everyone in Valda's family. I worked with Valda for many years @ Peel Memorial Hospital and continued to see her in our retirement years. Over the years she provided excellent care to so many new Moms & their infants. She was always a strong part of the nursing team and respected by all members of the health care team.

Sincere condolences to your entire family on the loss of a very special woman and nurse working with Valda was a total joy I learned a lot from her she gave so much of herself to the patients and the staff.She will be missed by many people. Dorothy Lavallee Barrie Ontario.

Our thoughts are with you in your time of mourning. Please take time to reflect on the times you had together and may that bring you some peace. God Bless and take care.

Sean, Bev and the Thompson Family

My deepest condolences to your entire family. I can not say all I would like about Valda as I would be typing for days! Valda taught me so much especially as a new Nurse, she was so knowledgeable, caring and truly passionate about Nursing and caring for patients. Valda knitted the most beautiful quilt for my first born which was almost 8 years ago, and since then I have passed it down to my 4 year old twins. The quality of the quilt almost 8 years later is impeccably, just like Valda character.
RIP dear Valda!

To all of the Family, My sincere condolences to you on your loss. Valda was highly respected and much loved with her nursing colleagues. When you worked with her, you knew details with the patients were done correctly, and even though sometimes work became super busy, she was always there when you needed her. Always calm, always caring. If staff started complaining when it became very busy, Valda would turn around , and look at us over her glasses. Everyone would become silent, and get back to work. Valda had "spoken". We loved her!
