Valerie Of My Mind - Val's Favorite Poet

We met in a book store. Valerie wanted to find a copy of a book of poetry called "A Coney Island Of The Mind." I ordered it for her. We worked together as booksellers. We loved books. We loved each other. We still do both.

Valerie was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease in 2008. She was only 57 years old.
