I’m sorry for your loss. Val and I were close, we were both excited the day we found out we were cousins. She was very special to me and I love her very much i never had a sister so having her was pretty close. We had so much fun wherever we went. I cant imagine how hard this is for you. I will keep you in my prayers.

I pray that God will provide strength and comfort whenever you need it most. Sarah, Ryan, Aubrey and Tristan
To the entire Voelz family, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. The last time I talked to Valerie was in February. It was a good conversation and we shared some pictures of our loved ones. We talked about how nice it would be to see one another. I am very much so regretting that I could not make that happen. I’ve been a basket case since I found out. Even though we have not talked in an extremely long time. All my love and deepest heart felt condolences to you and little Chloe.
We are so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Extending deepest sympathy, for you in your loss. And hoping, too, that comfort and peace may come to you.Ed & Dolores
