Mrs. Valerie Lynn Gantt Dickens

To Val's family ... We were in the H.P. Central class of '71 together, and in the band. Val was one of the most fun classmates ever! She cracked me up and I loved to pick on her. When we had our 50th class reunion she was, indeed, the life of the party. May you, family, seek, find and be comforted by the peace that only comes through Jesus Christ and His Spirt. May you cherish warm memories forever. Rest in peace, Val ... Gregg Gibhardt

Val, girl I'm just lost for words. Your passing really broke my 💖 😭. I have so many great memories of us growing up together. From way back in Hunters Court till now!! That's a lot of years!! I remember that piano y'all had & I always thought y'all was rich cause no one else in the neighborhood had one. Mrs. Marylee had you spoiled rotten. I always looked up to you. Wherever you were there was a great time to be had! God has called you home & gave you your wings 🪽. Fly high my friend 🕊️🕊️ To the Family Stay Encouraged.

To the Gantt Dickens Family, my sincere condolences and prayers. I will miss Val. She was so funny. I will miss our FaceBook responses and in seeing her at footballs games. She was the life of the party. We all grew up in the same church (St. Stephens). What a joy and friend to have. You will truly be missed.

God bless and love,

The legacy that Val leaves cannot be matched with words. It's measured by the love, fun and memories we shared over many years, many years of fellowship and friendship. We studied through school and we shared fun, laughter and parties. Where Val was, there was always history being made as classmates and friends. She gave our crew great support and gifts of memories that we will always cherish. RIP. Classmate and friend.

To my friend Val, I am lost for words, but God knows best.Val you were my friend and family always. We have had so good times and sad times, but God brought us through.
