So Sorry to hear of Valarie’s passing.
I have not seen her in many years, but my fondest memory of her is her and Donna making mud cakes for me when we were both very young.
They were my older neighbors across the street and would ask for me to come over and play with them. I looked up to Valarie since she was the oldest of the three of us, so when she said the mud cakes would turn out to be chocolate cakes of course I believed her. I was disappointed when my brother came and took me home before the cakes were ready.
To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. The heartache may be deep, but hold on to the love, memories and laughter to get you through it.
In My Prayers,
Barbra Woods Hudnall
