RIP Val, you will be missed

[Big Baller]

Man, this really sucks, I got a call last night while I was at the bar. I just got back home to a computer, Val you will be missed.

Tray, I'm really sorry man, theres nothing that can be said that will make you feel any better. I wish you the best.

Rest in Peace Val

[ahmonrah]

attn: TO SOMEONE THAT KNEW HER WELL.

what can the people from IA that knew her online but never got the chance to meet her in person do ?

this is a real question with no joking involved. i want to give some level of support to her fam and her husband if i can(i know they were just engaged but, they made a commitment, so he's her husband)

[speedracer41]

Like most of you, I only met her a couple of times and yes, she was one of the coolest chicks I have ever met. We are all better for knowing her! Once again, Condolences to all.

[Red]

OMG I can't believe this. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and to Tray. Val was one of the coolest people I've ever known. She was an awsome person and I will miss her. It is so horrible that this happened.

[06SilverBullet]

I really miss having dinner with Val and the crew after the NP meets @ TGIF's. She was an amazingly cool and respectable gal. VAL, you will be in our hearts forever.....

[tony]

I feel really bad because Val is one of the few people who added a balance to this forum.. some people post up and its frustrating to read but she knew her stuff and always stayed objective, from what I can tell she is very intelligent and it was always a sigh of relief to see her set someone straight.

Although I never met her personally I have a great respect for her for the simple fact that.. she is what a lot of people claim or want to be. She isn't the cliche of 'girls can't do this or do that' she did it and you could do nothing but respect that.

This loss I cannot grasp, usually I can accept it but I do not want to. To the family and friends, I am so sorry.

[WRX_STi]

I didn't find out about this until today. I was definatly hurt by the news. Val was an awesome person and I loved hanging out with her. I know that she has impacted quite a few lifes with her smile and personality. I hope God will bless all those mourning for her especially Trey. My thoughts and prays are with you man.

Dan

[Ed]

val was a relatively close friend. i just saw her wednesday night and friday. we'd leave each other "ricer" notes on each others car. she was a great person, very fun to be around. i hope she's in a better place now.

val i will never forget you. RIP from your "ricer" buddy. :(

[Jin]

Val was one of the coolest people here on IA. I had the priviledge of hanging out with her and Tray a couple of times when i was new to Atlanta and she was always the happiest person you could meet. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Rest in Peace Val.

[SpooL'DGsR]

my prayers go out to their loved ones.

[Buford®]

Man, I'm still in disbelieve. I hate this. :(

She was the teacher's assistant in my stat class. I'm glad I had the chance to meet her and have her make fun of me.

R.I.P.

[Da_unknown]

my prayers go out to her family....

[EvoDriven]

Still in utter shock about this...She was one of the most friendliest girls I ever met and had such an amazing sense of humor... :(

[Jaimecbr900]

For those that didn't have the pleasure of knowing Val personally....she was one of the guys. She was a very brilliant person, but had the sense of humor of a stand up comic. Some of the things that she would say.....well, everyone has their favorite as expressed here.

Val had a very big heart. She was very friendly and easy to walk up to and start a convo.

She is going to be HUGELY missed by all who knew her and even some that didn't.

Tray, there is absolutely nothing that I or anyone else can say to ease the pain. I can't fathom that kind of loss. You and Val's family will be in my thoughts and prayers. From my family to yours, our sincerest condolences. :(

RIP Val.

[AtifSajid]

I just got a call from Trey's sister telling me what happened. ME AND ANNIE ARE IN SHOCK AND SOOOOOOOOOO UPSET. We are so sorry for what has happened. THIS IS A MAJOR shock!!! Its still hasnt settled in that this has happened to such a good friend and a cool ass person!!!

Trey my bro, keep your head man. We are all here for you MAN!! I know this has got to be the worst thing to ever happen, bro keep your head up. I am soo so so upset to hear this..

Trey I know some of your good friends are with you right now keeping you company, I will stay in touch with Andrea because I am sure you got more on you than you can handle bro...I'll try to call you tomorrow man..Im so sorry to hear this. Val was an awesome friend and will always be with us dude....ALL OF YOU ALL WILL FOR SURE BE IN OUR PRAYERS!!

[TRAYZ06]

This is the worst thing that has every happened to me. I wish I knew how I can get this pain to go away. My life feels empty without her. My best friend, my lover, my fiancee dies. We were perfect for each other.

All members here posting their prayers, thoughts etc.. It really does help me a lot. It really makes me proud how I was her love. And she has so much friends here supporting us.

Thank you all.

Tray M

[Tracy]

So I was thinking, besides the fund that I could cut stickers in her honor for people's cars if they want (HIPSI brought the idea up). So e-mail me if you are interested [email protected] I'll just cut a bunch and maybe bring then to the next meet for everyone if they want.

I wish I could talk to her. No one would ever believe that she was my confidant after everything. I told her a lot of secrets and she never told anyone...It was our secret that we were really friends and talked all the time :) I feel selfish for being so sad. I don't know why. It's a wierd feeling for me. She understood a lot of things that I went thru or at least pretended to. I don't have any girlfriends, and y'all say she is one of the guys :) She was one of my girlfriends and we talked about girl stuff. She was always so with me when we talked about shop stuff. She understood how it was. It seemed like she was the only one that understood me and who took me for who I am no matter what. I remeber when she had the Supra. She would come over everyday sometimes just to hang out and soak it up :D She was so happy to get the Evo cuz it was fast. I was so excited to tell her that I got mine. She's faster than me :D I love that about her. When we talked Thursday I was talking to her about Dan and I and the marriage thing. She asked me if I had butt sex with him yet :D Typical.

Val, I'm sorry. Tray, I'm sorry.

[AtifSajid]

Man..I cant get this out of my head.....you guys were so awesome to us...I just found out and its completely not sinking in..

[koi]

I just had a sister-in-law die in a fiery crash on Oglesby Bridge Road in rockdale last sunday.

I know how her family is feeling right now. I can only offer my prays and say keep her close to your heart. RIP Val.

[RISKYB]

i just got home and got on IA for the first time tonight and ..... i really was not expecting to see this thread on here..... im so shocked i dont even know what to say... i had only met Val a few times back when i first gt on IA and went to a few NP meets and what not, but she was very cool and polite to a new face RIP Val and to Tray and her family you will be in my prayers

[Ruiner]

I just got to this thread after a long weekend. I am at a loss for words. She will be missed. :( Goodbye, Val.

[ISAtlanta300]

Such a sad news..... RIP... :(

[reflexx]

yeah we got the call a few hours back....i'm still in shock...she was an amazing woman and a good friend...i remember when she had her Supra and used to roll up to the North Point meets....i miss her already....my prayers are with and her and everyone...BE SAFE PEOPLE...with all the e-drama and bullshit that goes on here...we're still a family...please be safe


Here is a clip of her busting our balls at one of those north point meets:

[Frög]

R.I.P you will be in my prayers val

[reflexx]

This is no joke.

She was my everything. We were going to be marriend in just a few short months. We were well on our way on the wedding planning. We were going to get a house soon and start a wonderful life together. Nobody got me like she did. We were the perfect match. This is such a tragic underdeserving accident. I miss her so much and life is unfair to me. I just don't understant how God works his ways. She died yesterday very quickly the doctor said. I just pray she did go quick and was in no pain. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I feel life serves me no purpose anymore. Just a cruel world. I don't know how I'm going to push thru this.

Tray M

tray i'm so sorry.... i haven't seen you folks in forever but it seems like all the roadtrips, parties and meets were like yesterday. definitely some of the brightest characters of the scene. So many great memories, may she live on in our minds forever.

I still can't believe this. I didn't know Val offline, but it would of been a privilege to have met her. Thinking back, I remember some of the things she would say to me on aim. Her Family, Tray & her friends have my condolences. RIP Val :(

[RutRoe]

Tray, I am so so sorry for your loss... I'm sure this must all seem surreal right now. I didn't have the chance to know Val, but I know she left this world with you in her heart and in her mind, and nothing will ever change what you two had together.

MY prayers go out to you and your families and friends...You obviously loved her with all of your being and there is no greater honor for another human being than that.

I am so very sorry for this loss. RIP Val. You will truly be missed.

Rut

[b.a.d. s2000]

Tray, i am at loss for words. Last time i saw Val was at starbucks. She was there by herself, looking at mags for a wedding dress. She was very happy, and couldn't wait to make u her "bitch". That seemed like it was yesterday. You've made her a very happy person. man, i don't know what to say. If there is anything i can do to help, let me know.

"Who's your daddy"

I didn't know Val; however, it is very obvious that she made a huge impact in a lot of peoples' lives. It makes me wish I had known her... R.I.P. Val. My prayers go out to Tray and the families. I know this can't be easy, but feel proud that she impacted so many lives.

[atl530i]

Even though we never met, I am sorry for your loss. She sounded like a real nice person, a real shame we never met. Think about how she lived and how she touched and made a lot of people happy. RIP.

My condolences to you and your familes. Stay strong.

[speedminded]

Tray MStay strong Tray, literally hundreds of members here have your back if you need anything...if anything just to listen. It may be a little informal online and all but we're all here for you and don't be afraid to continue to let it out.

[man]

Wow, I just saw this thread tonight after seeing it in someone's sig. This is terrible, Val was such a great person, she will be missed. :(

[RandomGuy]

That is beyond crazy
Val was the funniest chick on here... I met her a few times, talked for a bit, saw her at Import Showdown she was doing what she loved. We always bullshitted on AIM from time to time. That is a terrible thing to happen to anyone. I guess what ever happens, happens... can't go back in time and bring her back but damn she was a great person :(

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS TRAY AND I HOPE THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOURS

MY CONDOLENCES and take it easy man, stay strong!

[redlift]

valerie told me about val tonight at starbucks. itll be wierd not seein her every night grading papers...and givin me and alan hell about our "less than 200 hp cars" lol. we knew we could never match up to "Ms. Stand Alone" lol. the few months i knew her left great memories. she and her family will be in my prayers.

miss ya val.

[GIXXERDK]

From what we were told by the cop, she was turning left at an intersection when she was hit head on by an f150. She died instantly from head trauma, that is all I will say out of respect for both families.

She was an awesome friend for both me and my wife. Val and Tray were actually going to be the God parents for our daughter once they got married.

Such a horrible loss


Doug

I'm hearing different stories, somone told me that she was passing on a 1 lane rd (abbotts bridge) and hit the truck. Either way, its a shame this had to happen. I hate it when bad things happen to great people. Rest in peace :cry:

[Deaf Pimp]

Guys, let's keep the accident details to yourselves. I know there have been different stories floating around and if Tray decides he wants to come out and tell us what happened, let him do so. In the mean time, refrain from posting rumors or stories about how the accident happened. Let's keep the topic, on-topic and discuss your favorite memories of Val. It would very much help Tray through this hard time.

[HalfBaked]

This one time she had methanol on her porch for her car, and the apartment lady came by and was like "You can't have gasoline on your porch!" and Val was like "it isn't gasoline, it is methanol." Then she spouted out the chemical formula or whatever with all the elements for methanol and then what it was for gasoline explaining what it was.

The apartment lady was so confused. I think she ended up letting her keep it there.

[Mike Lowrey]

Wow, I had the pleasure of meeting her a few times. Great person, she will be missed.

RIP Val

[Nemesis]

RIP Val. This whole thing is a shock to me as well, and even after a few days it still doesnt seem that it has really happened. I know you are in a better place now. You are actually the one person that has made me want to become a better driver at the track, so you could stop making fun of my poor launching skills :lmao: I wish you were still here so that I could have gotten to know you better. This entire incident I can say has changed my perception and outlook on a lot of things. Its hard to understand but a lot of things happen for a reason and a lot of times we cant percieve them because we are so hurt. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tray and your whole family. :(

[The Yousef]

you dumb piece of shit he passed away saturday night!!!

wtf is wrong with you!!??
you think this is some perverted joke!!??

she was a dear friend....

that last thing we need to hear is shit like this and the last thing Tray needs to see is shit like this...

:2up:

[Hundo®]

wow.. what a shock.. this is horrible... poor trey ;\

[The Yousef]

i was at the scene of the accident last night...i've seen the trail of debris...so please keep your consipiracy theory bullshit to yourself...

[speedminded]

..................Read post #282 above with a quote from Tray. Just edit your posts and go about your day far away from this thread please.

[Scrappy]

Its real dude! We don't want it to but it is. No need to have conflicts in these threads! But I will say last night was tough but she is calling each one of us a fag right now! :)

[kelly marie]

i couldn't believe this when we i heard.. i've only met her a few times but she is one of those people you just don't forget. our prayers are with her family and friends.. it's so sad when someone's life is cut short.. but i'm sure she is looking down smiling at all the friends she has who truely care about her.. she will be missed

[Hundo®]

IS THERE A FUNERAL ANYTIME SOON, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, i would like to support tray in any way possible ;[

[con]

prayers and condolences to Tray, family & friends...

[Tracy]

awww man :(

[Showdown]

All of us at Import Showdown and GA DSM send want to express our sorrow.This is a great loss to our community. She will be missed greatly.

Our thoughts and Prayers are with you Tray as well as the rest of her close friends and family.

If anyone has any other pictures of her, we would love to set up a memorial at Import Showdown. Please PM them to me if you can.

Thank You.

[Killer]

Wow, i'm shocked... i only met val once.... she picked me out while i was walking into starbucks... she recognized my car, and my dog from me posting a thread when i first got him.....

she even gave him a "new" name... Stanley T. Bouregart(spl)... hung out with her the rest the time i was there..... REAL COOL CHIC!!!!

To her close friends and family, i'm sorry for the loss. i'll keep u in my prayers... and my deepest condolences..

[God]

can paul update the 1st post with what exactly happened?
and tray- sorry man youve got my prayers

[civic95]

I can't beleive this. She was probably the coolest chick on IA. She always added her own comedy to meets.

[4dmin]

any word on funeral arrangements?

[The Ren]

^ that was going to be my next question

[Ms Dollar]

I still can't believe that this actually is happening...I know I haven't been posting on here at all, but Val was such an awesome girl.

I saw her on Saturday afternoon she came up to AutoIndulgence to get the Evo washed...It still feels like I am just walking around in a fog and I am just going to magically wake up and she will still be here.

Val, you were a great friend to a lot of people, RIP babe. :cry:

[GGPIS3]

..............

[4GPVR4]

I am writing this more for my husband Mike who knew her better than I did. I have only met her once and we talked about how women have better reaction times than men;) She went to the Mitsu dealership where he worked & ALWAYS stayed to shoot the shit with the fellas. He was upset when I told him & couldn't believe it. She was a sweet person & will be missed. Our thoughts are with her family & Trey.

[evo9gsr]

:( Just wanted to post a picture of the infamous couples at TopSpeed before we opened......I loved Val so much, this is really, really hard. We had told each other that we were best friends - something very hard for me to do since I lost another best friend that was murdered three years ago. It is so hard to find people that you connect with like we did..... She loved little Chandler so much - it is so hard to look at her and think of all the cool things that Val is going to miss.

However, I feel so freaking lucky to have been able to be such good friends with such an amazing person.

I did meet Val @ battleground when she had the Supra. She was a cool girl that knew alot about cars and I was impressed that she had a Supra, because I haven't met any girl that had one before. She will be missed, and prayers go out to Trey and family.

OMG! I am trying not to cry... She was a really cool chic and I can honestly the coolest I have ever meet to date! She told me about her tag and what the meaning of it was. She said he took it very well that she has that tag because of his STI. What is his name on here? When did this happen? I want to get something on my window in memory of her but I will need a date...

RIP

[Fast Shadow]

Holy shit, I can't believe this. I just met Val a couple of months ago and she was awesome. We kept talking about that pic of the "Let's Do Coke!" cat and how funny it was.

Tray, I am so sorry to hear this, man. My condolences to you and to Val's family.

There's one other thing I wanted to mention that kind of freaks me out.

On Friday night I had a dream that I was in a huge wreck in my Evo. I never have dreams about "real" things and this dream was very vivid, I remember all of the details. It was so real that when I woke up it took a few minutes for me to realize it had just been a dream. I even told some friends about it because it was more like a memory than a dream.

It's a horrible and tragic thing to have a loss like this. It seems as though its always the best of people to go, and go to soon.

Rest In Peace, and all my condolances go out to the families, friends, and those on IA who knew her best.

[Driven3]

RIP

[1slodsm]

She was and is still and will always be a great person, weather it was hanging out at starbucks on Barrett or chilling at North Point and the eating dinner all the time at TGI Fridays till the wee hours of the morning. She was Val....the most funniest person to be around and would always make you smile when you were down. She always knew how to keep you laughing and would make you cry cause she was so funny. I never forget the day that I meet up with her in my Evo and she was like dame you ass to got the same wheels as me. Then she said well at least i know where a set are if I curb mine. And also the going away party that she set-up for me when I went over-seas. There is just so much more that I can say....I can go on for hours. But the world is not the same without you. I know that your watching over us now. And someday we all will be able to be with you again.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ALL OF US INTO YOUR LIFE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU

RIP to Val, I hadnt been on here in a lot lately, nor have i really seen her on here at all. Prayers are definetly out to the family, i only met her once out at NP, but she seemed cool. from what i remember she was always up for the challenge and usually kicked ass. If i recall pretty damn good E-Thug too haha! RIP VAL! WE'LL MISS YOU!

[Ruiner]

Nice Dan! That girl could drive! I was sweating bullets against her when we raced. We were both running identical ET's at the track during the semi finals at the showdown.

She and I always used to kid and talk shit about our cars back when I had the 911 turbo. She was always funny as hell. :) Tray, I am sorry for your loss, but she will be in my (our) memories forever. She really was great.

[GSRteg®]

My Condolences IA.

[Leadfoot_mf]

I can't believe this....I knew of Val from IA but i didn't know that i knew her before i was on here.

When i first got the vette i was out at barrett alot. i remember this girl coming up to me trying to start some shit (but in a funny good way) she was with a girl in a eclipse i think but was saying if she had her car out she would waste me. we joked around a bit then started making fun of all the ricers that where out.

every time i saw her she was always joking around. making fun of people. just way too sad...

i found this article about her and charles cars it starts on page 12.

From FX Race our prayers go out to Tray and Val's family...If there is anything we can do let us know!

[AFSil80]

I never had the chance to meet her in person, but I remember her being a member on my site WAAAY back in the day when she had her MKIV.

I knew from my site that she had a great personality, it's such a shame I'll never get to meet her.

Tray, I'm sorry for your loss.

Rest In Peace, Val.

R.I.P , and to the boyfriend... keep your head up man, my toughts and prayers .

Damn I haven't been on this forum in weeks I didn't even know but she did have some funny posts. I don't know many folks on IA but my condolences go to her family. She will be missed.

Great woman and she will definitely be missed. I only had the opportunity to hang around her a few times, but I was looking forward to many more. She always had a way of livening up the place. I haven't really been on IA much lately, but this was definitely not what I expected when I logged on. RIP Val and sorry for your loss Tray. You and her family are in my prayers. :cry:

I didn't know her for very long. I actually just met her a couple of weeks ago through people I hung out with at Starbucks.

I could tell the moment I met her that she was one of the most caring people in the world. Not to mention she was absolutely hilarious.

She will be missed greatly and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family and Tray.


Rest in peace Val.

[Bus Driver J]

Ill miss Val a lot!! She was a great firend and always drew a smile om my face. We love you Val and will never forget about you.

[atlantasol]

It always amazed me how Valerie came up with some of the most crazy stuff ever. I'll never forget when she found this one:
Badger, badger, badger, badger. Mushroom, mushroom! Snake!

Words can not explain how I feel about this... I am so shocked that someone that was amazing that my ex and I looked up to as a person and someone that was a very great driver is not longer to make us laugh at the goofy things she said and did. My ex wanted to get to know her and Tracy because she wanted to learn more from other girls that were into the same thing that were both amazing people to be around. I am very sorry for the loss and I know that words can not bring her back but she still lives in every person on this site. I keep seeing people write things like they didn't really know her that much or ever meet her but they hear how great she was and that is what will always be in my mind when I think about her. She had an impact on everyone’s life around her because how great she was and still is in heaven giving anyone with a STi up there a hard time.

[collins]

wow, even tho its been a few days, its still hard to imagine. i remember when i got locked up for being stupid on a mountain run thru north ga and she and ruiner had a tag team giving me shit for the typical jail comments. she was always cool as long as you weren't a dumbass, then she'd call you out... val will me missed greatly.

tray, i'm sorry i couldnt make it to the viewing today. it looks like i'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow morning either, i just came down with a massive head cold. but man if you guys need anything, let me know! this is a hard time for everybody. we got your back, bro!

[Buford®]

This still hurts me. :(

You know she's saying "Pussies. Quit your bitchin'."

[jamaicanDM]

RIP and my prayers are with u and the fam

[NewGen33]

I was Wondering what all the Val things were about, but I never would have thought it would be about IA losing a terrific person. Tough I never knew her I still feel sad hearing about her death. I will pray for her family and friends as they go through these hard times ahead. Wow I just can't imagine having to deal with such a big loss. It makes a lot of the things you worry about seem pointless.

RIP

Tray and Val's family you have my deepest sympathy. I can't believe what had happened and when I heard I cried after I got off the phone. Val was a beautiful person inside and out and I'm deeply sorry to hear what happened. She was a very friendly and caring human being that always made me smile as well as others. I can't say enough to how sorry I am. I really wish this wasn't true. She is watching over you Tray and she always will be watching over you. Tray, if there is ANYTHING I can do please do not hesitate to call. I'm sorry I didn't get to make the funeral today, I just got back into town. You have my deepest sympathy and regrets.

[FUCC_YEW]

Tray,

Sorry for your loss man... it aint easy losing the one you love! Just keep your head up! Val was an awesome chick!

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

[Kirk]

Today was the day of My bride to be Valerie Antranikian Funeral service. She was loved by all! Her service today was very difficult for all. But seeing the large amounts of friends, and families who attended her honor was healing. She had 350+ people in attendence for both days.

She was very special to us all. She touched everyone one way or another. She will be forever missed!

I want to thank you for being there for Valerie.

Thank you

Tray M

[Brett]

You know we are all here of you need us

It was good to see you man, and I hope you pass through this tough time soon. I cant even imagine how it feels. Valerie was deeply loved by many. I'm very proud to say that I got the chance to meet her and hang out with you guys the few times we had a chance to. if you need anything you know you got people over here to count on.

[The Ren]

again tray although its been said over and over.. we all are here for you.. even if its just to bring you dinner or to lend a ear to listen.. just say the word and we are there...

[atlantasol]

After a few days of deep reflection and thoughts of remembrance I have realized something. Out of all the people I've ever known in my life, I can honestly say that Valerie is the one person that I would most want to be like. And that is not to discount the character of the other people I've known, but to exalt hers. She is truly the most amazing person ever. Never did I see her without a smile on her face and never did i see others around her without one of their own. She made (still makes) more people laugh than I ever could wish to. Everytime I start crying, there is a laugh that follows. She is the craziest person imaginable, but still the most compassionate. I will miss her so much.

My hearts goes out to you, Tray, and to the rest of your families.

[Loud1]

Tray sorry for your loss.... I will always remember her for having me in stitches laughing so hard about needing her crack (Race fuel) when I was with Knowledge. She will be missed...

R.I.P. Val

[Nomad!]

I didn't know her but, she sounds like the type of person I would have loved to meet & bug-out with. Sorry for the loss :(

[Big Rick]

i didn't know her much, except for on the forum. i will keep her and her family in my prayers as well as Tray. RIP Val, u will be missed. :(

[Tracy]

I'm bummed I missed thre funeral. I usually don't go to funerals because they make me crazy. I am out of town and missed it :(

[Brittany]

I remember Val when she had her Supra - from hanging out with Tracy and Dan at Batlground.

She was the sweetest girl and this is a huge loss for the car community as a whole.

Trey, I am so sorry for what you are going through right now.

...got u covered in prayer:::

[SilverJester]

Oh my god I just found out today. I'm so sorry Tray. Val was definitly a beyond awesome person, my prayers go out to for you and her family.

[T34me]

Tray, i am so sorry, i know i did not know you or Val, but i have read all 19 pages and she sounded like a fantastic person. Even now i am tearing up just thinking about if somthing happened to my fiancee. I wouldent know what to do. You are a strong person not to lose faith and keep going. As long as you keep her in your memories, she will always be with you.

[slyde_wayz]

Damn

[lexusgraysr2]

I just heard the news on Friday. One of those bits that just takes your breath away. Only met Val a few times, but she stood out even in a group of car guys on a dyno-day. She kept everyone cracking up.

Tray, hope time is helping heal the pain. You and her family are in my prayers.

God Bless,
Bruce

[2micro4u]

Ahh man...........I miss Val already
I just found out. Last time I remember us chatting having a good time talking about our Evo's while mine was getting some work done up at Topspeed. She was a cool down to earth person straight up. I will never forget her.

My prayers go to the fam and to Tray.. :(

[OHYOUKNOW]

i didnt know her personally but from the responce on here, and another board i frequent she seems to be a very special person, my condolences to those who were close to her. something that i read that has always helped me alittle with dealing with such things, maybe it might make a little sense to some of you as well


Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again

[tightblue89]

RIP Val! I dont usually post on here alot but know several people on the board. I love cars and am a car enthusiast. Been to several meets/events over the years. My prayers go out to both families. I went to KSU and saw Val several times a week back in the day driving the Supra around and then the Evo.

[sina518]

my condolences go ot to the family. i got to meet her once she was a really cool person. i always saw her at the starbucks on medlock. the only thing that can be said is hold your heads up high and know she is in a better place. life is just a big test and she passed it and moved on. hopfully one day we can all move on from this fucked up world and be in a better place

[rollininstyle2004]

My condolences to Trey and everyone else that was close to Val. I only saw her a few times, never officially met her, but she always seemed like a great person. RIP.

[SuperBox]

Sorry to hear about Val and I hope her family and friends the best to get through such bad times in life.
