Cousin Val,
Though we lived oceans apart, nevertheless when we visited you were warm, welcoming and generous ( I have the Handbags and your handmade Sweater/Wrap that proves it)
Your untimely passing left us all shocked and saddened, but in the words of Kahlil Gibran’s, The Prophet...... And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from it’s restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Dance and sing Val. You will be forever missed.

To Valerie a dear sister-in-law
You will be missed but not forgotten, forever remembered of times gone by.
Rest in eternal peace

Dearest Valerie, the tragedy of your passing is made worst by the difficulty of not being able to travel and be with the family.
You were taken away from us so quickly but have left us with lovely memories of fun, love and a solid dedication to family.
Losing a sister is a painful experience but you will always be in my heart. Never to be forgotten❤️

Dearest Valerie:

I am Hope, your cousin. I only met you twice but I felt that I have known you forever. You see, my mother (Avenel), my uncle (Lee), my grandmother (T'Dor) and the rest of our family in Jamaica would speak of you, your siblings and Aunt CC. My memory of you is your pronounced British accent, your strong/determine personality and your curious smile. I am grateful to have shared this life experience with you, and I will chant that your soul will find peace in your next journey. So I celebrate this thanksgiving of your life with gratitude and grace. Until next time, "walk good mon, walk good......" Hope Powell, NJ, USA.
