A Heartfelt Goodbye for Valerie Lee Blake

Hello, my name is Ceyohnte Blake and I'm writing on behalf of my family as we navigate a very rough time. I never imagined I'd be writing a page for this reason, but life humbles and grounds us when we don't expect it. I am the only child of Valerie Blake, who passed away recently. I've always worked hard, kept my head down, and been the last to ask for help. But I would like to give my mother the send-off she deserves and wanted.

My mother had been fighting heart problems for the past year and a half, while still trying to work. The last 9 months, she had stopped working completely due to her condition. On June 22nd, 2025, she was finally able to rest.

Your support, whether it be donations or prayers, will go directly to arrangements for her passing first, then to support the home my mother and aunt shared. I know things are tough for everyone right now, but anything you're able to give will go a long way. My family will be forever grateful.

With Love and Gratitude, Ceyohnte Thomas Blake
