Valree, you were a dear, dear friend as soon you became a member of the Hardaway family. You were also my neighbor for several years. We shared our thoughts and didn’t worry about being judged. I shall miss you to my dying day. Love you bunches. Holly and Hunter, you had a selfless mother who had your best interests at heart. Please take care of each other.
Loved much by many. We will all miss you.
Always in my heart.
Rest in Peace.
Valree, You, Janice and I were so proud to be cousins, even if it was third cousins. Danny and I hadn’t seen you in so many years and then we got to see you and Janice and family this summer. You were so sad to lose your sister. We are sad beyond words today, but we take refuge in that we were able to have such a good visit. You, my dear, are unforgettable and will live forever in Danny’s and my heart. My heart goes out to James, Holly, Hunter, Meghan and other nieces and friends.
