 Val, I don't know if you remember me or not but we used to give each other a kind smile when we walked past each other. I could tell you truly were a kind person with a lot of love to give. I know your death was hard to handle for most people and my deepest sympathies goes out to your family. And i could see why god wanted you close to him and up there with him because you truly was an angel here on earth. So as life goes on we celebrate your life and remember how great of a person you were and still is in heaven. So keep on having fun and watch over us and we love you and keep smiling because I know a lot of people are happy right now in heaven with you up there.

  Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

 I was going through my basement cleaning out some stuff before I left for school when I found a Beanie Baby with a heart on it's chest. Her name happens to be Valentina and her poems reads, "Flowers, candy and hearts galore/ Sweet words of love for those you adore/ With this bear comes love that's true/ On Valentine's Day and all year through" Slightly corny, I know, but the bear reminds me of what you were all about- happiness. I keep it beside my desk and smile every time I see it. I love you Val : )

 Val, i can't believe it's already been a year. It has definitely flown by. I wore my shirt I made with Sarah and Kayla after you passed away. It has your name and your birthday and everything.:) I also brought the pink teddy bear you gave me for my sixteenth birthday to school with me. It's sitting on my dresser and everytime i look up at it it makes me think of you.:) I miss you soooo much. I hope you're enjoying yourself up there. I love you babe. :)
