I had the great pleasure of meeting Ms. Valerie last summer and we got to spend some time together. We had several meetings , and every time we met, she had the brightest smile, kindest eyes, and I got to see a beautiful heart. My time knowing her was short. I am grateful that God crossed our paths. I felt like I had a new sister in Christ. My condolences to the family and Mr. Bland. Praying God’s peace and His presence around you.

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Bland at JFS and she was one of the most kindest, hardworking technical assistance I knew and then she went on to case management. She was definitely a bright light and she will be missed. My prayers are to the family.
