Biographie:
Valerie is the second born of 12 children, raised back in the good old days on a farm in Stratton, Ontario. Running wild, free and barefoot throughout the fields. Getting new shoes when school started in the fall. She likes spring, gravel roads, gentle breezes, country music, the smell of lilacs, picking blueberries, the smell of fresh mown hay. She loves reading, gardening, and searching for wildflowers - the first wild flower to peek their head out in the spring. Cherishes good friends, love of family, hugs from grandchildren and her precious memories of Carl.
