I worked with Valerie for many years At Novartis. We met soon after the merger of Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz. She brought so much warmth and joy to our group. I will always remember our morning coffee club, Valerie's sharp wit and humor. Our conversations about our cats, playing volley ball, and what seemed like weekly birthday meetings. Valerie was a true friend who sincerely cared about those around her and was always there to lend heartfelt guidance on just about anything. You will be sorely missed. I will always remember you with great fondness and respect. Rest in Peace.
