A True Woman of Faith! I recall in a conversation some years ago when Valerie shared some words about her fight with cancer. She was smiling and said, " I will keep fighting!" A testament of her resilience, fight, encouraging spirit towards others. What Cavalier Spirit! For when I think of the Lady Cavaliers, who embody and live the examples of true Cavalier Spirit Valerie is among, so many others. To the family, friends, young ladies, who played ball under her leadership,and her Spartanburg County School District 6 family, know that she has earned her wings and is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God's Peace, Love, Uncommon Favor, Health and Healing Be Upon You Always!!!
May God Bless Her Family Always ! Amandalina Aeropostale
