Valorie was a wife, a daughter, a mother, a grandmother (momo), a nurse, and a veteran officer of the Air Force.  She meant the world to everyone and she was the world to our family.  She lived to help people and animals, from nursing our soldiers to caring for the animals on her farm, she truly mastered everything she did.  She was a wonderful wife, an amazing Momo, and a selfless mother.  During this time we do not wish to wait on the VA to cover her funeral expenses.  Her husband has chosen to pay now and wait for the VA later.  She spent enough time in her life waiting on the VA and we have chosen not to have her do that for her own funeral.  I never imagined I would make one of these for my own family, but under these circumstances I want to help my dad pay for what we can.  He would never ask for anything and we will have to beg him to let us help, but we want to.  Prayers and kind words are also welcome during this very painful time.  Thanks.
