I am so sorry to hear of Valerie's passing. I met Valerie years ago at the good old 'Plantation Lounge' & boy did we have some laughs & good times there. But as time went by we lost contact with each other until just last summer. I ran into Valerie while she was with her friend Lucy. Come to find out her friend Lucy is my neighbor of 40+ years! And I never knew Valerie & her were friends! I'll never forget we had such a good visit that night, we talked, & laughed, & reminisce about the good old days, it was like we picked up where we left off. And sadly now it's hard to believe you are gone...gone too soon! Rest in peace my friend & thanks for the memories.
