The beloved daughter of Deborah and Daniel Koskovich and sister to Shelley and Lisa was called home by God at the tender age of 21 years. Her exuberant, loud, irreverent, and often wacky personality is now lighting up the classrooms, living room sofas, and concert venues of Heaven.
Valerie was a sweet and caring kid, a loyal friend, a compassionate and creative soul whose passing leaves a giant void that will never be fully refilled. But we also know she is looking down on us all today with that silly smirk, those sparkly flat shoes and some wild, mismatched outfit and yelling "Hey everybody, quit crying already...its dancy-dance time!"
