Tears here, too. I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I’ll write her name into the prayers book at my parish so we can all think of Valerie and her family and hold them in our prayers.

I too am deeply saddened by Valerie’s passing, I am so sorry and my thoughts and prayers go out to her “personal family” as well as “our online family”…in their time of grief. Her passing should also serve as a stark reminder of just what a tremendous miracle we have all been through. Yes they do these surgeries everyday, at many hospitals, but I still to this day marvel at what my body has been through and survived. If not for a 12 inch scar to remind me, it’s hard to get my head around it. There are about 330,000,000 people here in the US, and yet how many people have been through these types of surgeries? We really need to take a serious retrospective look and realize that we are a part of a very small and special lucky group of people…use your extra time here on earth wisely and appreciate what has been given to you. I pause in prayer for Valerie and I am deeply saddened she was not able to join our special group, however I feel Valerie is in a better place with another truly select group of people who have completed their work to be done here on earth. We will all be with Valerie in time and I feel confident she will be wearing a BIG smile saying to all of us… “What took you guys so long?”

I am shocked and saddened by Valerie’s death. My heart, my soul, flies off to her husband and family. Such a beautiful life, cut short.

It is an important reminder to take each day of our lives as the most beautiful thing, to tell our friends and family how much we love them, while they can hear us, not to assume that any of us is going to be here at the end of the day, healthy or not.

Thank you Jerry, for reminding everyone that all surgeries carry risks,especially a surgery like this, but not to lose hope and remember that many of you have come across that difficult bridge. Be thankful for every day you live! Mercy, mother of John Turan, Ross Proc. March 2008.

Time for a “group hug”.

When I first read of Valerie’s passing I was simply shocked. We forget that young people die every day of valvular heart disease. I just couldn’t get her picture out of my mind…..such a warm smile from a woman who obviously had some serious health concerns.
To Valerie’s family,….although we are strangers, kindly accept this big hug which I am extending out to you. We are all in this together & must continue be each other’s support.
