To the family, our heart goes out to you all in the passing of your love one, there's no words to express the hurt that has brought to our hearts. Just know that Valery was a blessing to us and will truely be missed. The Blango Family
My greatest memory of Valery was hearing her incredible soulful and moving voice as she captivated her audience with song! Her voice was a gift to the world! We will miss her voice here on Earth, but now it's Heaven's gain! That voice has joined the chorus of the angels. I can only imagine that Valery is singing with the angels in the presence of God. Valery's earthly song may have ended, but the melody lingers on! Wishing the family peace during this difficult time. With sympathy for the loss of a beautiful voice!

Now look forward to seeing her again in a better Place Where there will be Life Without End At Last.... Much Love ❤️, The Collins and Murphy Family,
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF SISTER VAL. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND SUCH A GREAT ASSET TO THE BODY OF CHRIST. SHE DID NOT MIND HELPING TO LIFT JESUS UP BY SINGING HIS PRAISES NO MATTER WHAT CHURCH SHE WAS IN. GOD HAS TRULY PICKED ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL FLOWER FROM HIS FLOWER GARDEN. TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. YOU ALL HAVE MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
