To Clay, Shelby, and Sidney:
Sorry for your loss. I know y’all will miss Valerie. Blessings to all of you.
Valery, you will live in our hearts forever. You were such a joy and a talent. Thank you for ALL that you did and mean to us Now and Forever. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Love you ALWAYS.
Words cannot express my love for Val. She holds a special place in my heart and my family’s. She and Grandma Ermal had such a love for art and colors and could create anything out of nothing. Her love for Clay and the girls were everything and she dedicated her life to them. I know she is in Heaven and Grandma Ermal greeted her with a paint brush and some old junk to start making a masterpiece for Heaven
Such a sweet and talented lady.
Enjoyed our visits and her art
My heart is broken for her husband and girls. I worked with Clay starting in 1998 until September of 2020. Valarie was such an awesome person and a great friend. Prayers for the Puntes family. May the Lord cover you with his blood and hold you close at this time.
