Saraya Starr Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I am not sure how many of you remember Valerie, to me she was the most dearest, wonderful woman I knew, a great friend. I am sorry to say that my sweet friend Valerie has passed away To all of Valérie's friends, sad news. Val had a terrible fall on the stairs a few months back, and almost died. In her surgeries and treatments, we had hope she would recover. Unfortunately, her pain increased terribly, and a CTI scan before Christmas showed oral cancer, advanced. We talked with the doctors about possible treatments, and her chances of survival were not great. If you feel a need to know more, please contact me in SL. Val was due for surgery, and I have just now a letter from her mother. Val died before the surgery. She would have been on powerful pain-killers and would have passed away without suffering. I will be keeping our home, her exquisite Spectrum, open in SL another month or two. Spectrum is truly a joy, every single object there whispers her name. Every single day that I spent with Val was a joy, and an adventure. She was a perfect mate for me, although we never met in RL. We had hoped to have a trip to Barcelona this spring, to enjoy the Gaudi and the cuisine. Farewell, my love ❤️ * From her mother just now: Je suis la maman de Valérie. Je suppose que vous êtes (Domitan). J’ai la douleur de vous apprendre la mort de Valérie. C’est horrible ! Je parle très mal anglais. Elle n’avait pas encore commencé son traitement contre son cancer. Elle est morte d’un arrêt cardiaque probablement ou d’une embolie pulmonaire. Elle pensait souvent à vous. Je suis tellement malheureuse ! Cordialement. Ms. LEOPOLD * Google translation: I am the mother of Valerie. I guess you're (Domitan). I teach you the pain of the death of Valerie. It's horrible ! I speak very poor English. She had not yet started treatment against her cancer. She probably died of cardiac arrest or pulmonary embolism. She often thought of you. I am so unhappy! Cordially. Ms LEOPOLD I am so unhappy! Cordially. Ms LEOPOLD My heart is broken, hard to believe I will never talk to her again 1 2 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm so sad to hear of Val's passing and your loss. I'd known Val for years and had many long chats with her. She was a sweetheart, a valuable member of the Answers team for many years, and will be missed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Solo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Oh my goodness. How terribly sad. Every single word she typed conveyed respect, love & kindness.

Tem Haalan Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thank you for posting this Saraya. I hadn't notice Val pop up on my friends list for a while and she was missed at Hippiestock. What a lovely lady she was. A loss to our SL world. My sincere condolences to you Saraya. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I didn't know her personally, only saw her posting in the forum along other people, but its always a bitter feeling to know someone did not just move on or got busy, but is gone from this (real) world. Thanks for sharing this with us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraya Starr Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thankyou Maryanne, Tem and Syo. So many times we lose someone from SL that we have grown close to and when they disappear, sometimes we do not know why. But, this time, sadly we do. She was a truly kind, caring and wonderful woman, she touched many lives and I am so glad I met her. ♥ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I recall Valerie making a few posts. Sad news indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Bowman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Val was a sweet kind sensitive lady. My life is better having know her. I met her on the forums many years ago. For sometime she was my sidekick on the comfy fire thread. I would come and raid her fridge from time to time. Her place in spectrum is fantastic. Val always paid attention to detail. I have very fond memories of Val. I will miss her. Peace! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraya Starr Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I remember that, Hippie. The pics she posted made me smile, her Home on Spectrum was truly a home for her, it was a welcoming place to be. I remember lurking for a long time in these Forums and when I finally did post, she made me feel so welcomed. There will never be another like Val, I will miss her always Edited January 19, 2019 by Saraya Starr spelling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
