Valerie
My friend, Valerie, passed away Friday at 2:45 pm.
She taught me about practicing the presence of God. She showed me how encouragement can overwhelm negativity. She loved learning new things, figuring out how to relate to new people, and exploring how things could be done differently. She served selflessly. She encouraged effortlessly. She’d always tell me how great I was at what I did. She’d tell me I was a perfect fit for each position I was in, even when I didn’t feel adequate. Valerie was a consistent challenger and encourager of my faith. She is one of the reasons I’m not the same person as I was five years ago.
My words couldn’t do justice. My attempt to write this is barely a fraction of her impact upon who I am.
Today, I simply thank God for your life, Valerie.
