Valerie Randall Memorial today at Enders Island

"Accept that it is true. And we will hear..."
"Beloved life well lived, job well done..."
"Champion the younger ones...have the strength to see it through"
“Death does not come when a body is too exhausted to live. Death comes because the brilliance inside of us can only be contained for so long.” ~Micheal Lee 
Everyday is a canvas on which we can create
"...Feel the pain in someone else..."
"Give back love, let go my pride."
"Hear the truth and accept when it is true... Hear when my life on this earth is through."
"If you can hear the truth and accept that it is true..."
"Job Well Done" written and performed by Linda Webb-Khakaba.
"Look within and Look without and Let my champion come out"
"My beloved child, job well done, my precious one"
Oh! so that's how we are meant to live! Oh! I get it now. Thank you, Valerie

"Race well run, you gave the love you came to give"
"Stand up tall and look your demons in the eye"
Transforming
Unfolding in front of me
Valerie was one of the rare few who made me feel: "Oh! Now I get it!!"
"Walk in darkness when We cannot see the sky. We will stand up tall..."
You will hear ... job well done... You gave the love, you came to give. Beloved, life well lived!!

  1. This was lovely. I recognized so many of the photos you used in the montage. I hope you don't mind that I've shared this with a bunch of Valerie's friends. We all wish we could've been there yesterday, but we are spread throughout the world. Thank you for being there on our behalf.

    1. Thank you, Zaz. I am glad it felt as though I was there. I was not. My Mom was, as that Enders Island is near my hometown. I live in North Carolina, but had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Valerie last summer. We remain kindred Spirits. I am glad you shared it with friends. Her love is HUGE. The video montage was create by a dear friend of Valerie's from California. Rafe Ellis. It was sent to me by a mutual friend. His YouTube page is: https://www.youtube.com/user/Rafe1959. It is quite a testament to Valerie that we are all so deeply moved and powerfully connected.
