<div>On September 30, 2025, our beloved mother, Valerie Hudspeth, gained her wings. Valerie was the kind of person who could fill a room with laughter the moment she walked in. Outspoken and bold, she never hesitated to speak her mind, but those who truly knew her also knew the depth of her love and the size of her heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She loved deeply, cared fiercely, and had a smile that could brighten even the darkest moments. Life wasn’t always easy for her; becoming a mother at a young age and facing many challenges along the way. Yet through it all, she never gave up. She stood strong, kept her head in the game, and always did her best for the people she loved most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As her children, we are heartbroken by this loss and are working to honor her with the dignity and love she deserves. Valerie did not have insurance, and the costs of cremation and final arrangements are more than our family can manage alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As the oldest of 7 children, I (Nicole) am doing my best to hold us together during this difficult time. But I cannot do it alone. We are humbly asking for support to help cover these expenses. Any contribution (no matter the size) will go directly toward giving our mom a peaceful and beautiful farewell. If you are unable to give, we ask that you please share this page and keep our family in your prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, kindness, and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love,
</div>
<div>Valerie’s Children
