On Sunday, October 17th heaven called our beloved Valerie home, suddenly and unexpectedly.

To know Valerie was to love her, she was one of the brightest lights in this world, and her effervescent spirit shined through like diamonds. She had a passion for the arts, especially fashion and film. She allowed her ambitions to carry her free spirit. Gone too soon, Valerie was not able to fully pursue her true passions, making this a monumentally heartbreaking loss for her family and friends who continue to mourn the loss of their angel.

Today, we are putting together a GoFundMe to aid Valerie’s family in her burial expenses. These funds will go straight towards the funeral/memorial costs, and anything left over will go towards additional expenses incured by her family as they navigate this immesurable loss.

On behalf of the Garcia/Hernandez family, we thank you for your kindness, consideration, and prayers.
