Mrs. Valerie,
It’s been many years since we spent time together, but I have many wonderful memories of you when I was young. I remember going to your house and eating delicious dinners, shopping at the mall and going to Teavana. You were always such a positive person to be around, and I have wonderful memories of watching movies with you as a teenager and you painting my nails. You were always so giving and kind.
I wish we could have spent more time together, but I know I will see you again someday in heaven.
Much love,
Rachel E

VALERIA OLIVIA TICA EULOGY
Valerie was born on a beautiful day in Salonta, county of Bihor, Romania on the 2nd of August 1966 to a family of Christians, godly parents. She went home to glory to meet her King on September 28, 2022, after a long battle with breast cancer. She was the third and last child of Ioan and Ileana Vese. Being the youngest, Valerie had a happy childhood surrounded by her parents and older siblings John and Rodica.
As a young child she was in love with music, both vocal and instrumental. By age 6 she was a part of the church orchestra where she loved to spend lots of time.
In 1977 her family moved to the larger city of Oradea. There, her family joined the 2nd Baptist Church of Oradea, currently known as Emanuel Baptist Church of Oradea, Romania.
In 1980, at the age of 14 years old, Valerie surrendered her life to her Lord and Savior Jesus Chris and soon after she was baptized.
In Oradea, Valerie continued to pursue her interests in music. She joined one of the city’s prestigious music schools where she majored in voice canto and violin. She graduated with highest grades including a perfect mark for vocal arts as a soloist Soprano.
Starting in 1993, she joined the Chamber Choir led by well-known conductor Relu Tosha. The choir traveled and performed in many cities around Europe. The highlight of her music career was an international tour of Romania, Hungary, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Germany in 1990. Valerie would often reminisce the events and memories gathered during this music tour, as well as the lifetime friends she made during that time.
As a young girl, Valerie had a great love for children. She loved to babysit for friends and family. Valerie especially showed great love to her older brother John’s children – David and Eliza. She took advantage of any time off from school to spend time with her nephew and niece. She also loved greatly her sister Rodica’s children – Emanuel and Gabriela. And lastly, she had a special loving relationship with her youngest niece Iulia, the younger sister of David and Eliza and the daughters, Juliet and Annelise of her nephew David.
Early 1987, Valerie met her future husband, Cornelius Tica. They were married on the 27th of May 1988. The young couple lived in the cities of Oradea, Arad, and Timisoara while they were in college. Later in early 1991 they had the opportunity to emigrate to the United States. Once they arrived in USA, they lived in Alpharetta, Georgia and then Greenville, South Carolina when Cornelius went back to school to studied at Bob Jones University.
In 1991 Valerie and Cornelius had their first son, Noel and a year later they had their second son, Philip. Valerie was a devoted loving wife and exceptional mother. She loved her husband and adored her children with selfless devotion and great passion. For her family was everything, the most important gift from God.
Between the years of 1995 to 1996 Cornelius and Valerie lived in Phoenix, Arizona, then afterwards they moved to Atlanta, Georgia where they resided and raised their children. In 2017 due to Cornelius ‘job they relocated to Dallas, Texas until late 2020 when they moved back to Georgia.
As her children got older, Valerie worked various jobs. She worked retail sales jobs at clothing and jewelry stores and patient access at Gwinnett Medical System. Later, Valerie discovered her passion for real estate. She became a licensed agent and excelled at growing relationships and helping many people in her community with their real estate needs. Over the years Valerie received many outstanding reviews for her passion and knowledge with which she represented all her clients.
In 2017 Valerie’s younger son Philip fell in love and married Rebeca. In 2019, Noel’s her oldest son fell in loved and married Jimin.
For the last five years Valerie battled a merciless and aggressive cancer. During this time her faith never wavered, as she continued to live her life with passion, courage, and dignity. One of her greatest desires was to meet and spend time with her grandchildren. God granted her wish, and their family was blessed with two grand kids. First Philip and Rebeca welcomed to the family their daughter Dorothy. Two weeks later, Noel and Jimin welcomed to the family their son Eliel.
Aside from her close and deep family relationship, Valerie developed many lasting friendships and relationships. Her close friends are spread all around the world, and she was loved by all who met her.
Valerie was a free spirit, a kind and sweet lady who loved life to its fullest and she will be greatly missed by all who met her. She is survived by her husband Cornelius Tica, by her son Noel Tica and his wife Jimin and son, Eliel; and by her son Philip Tica and his wife Rebecca and daughter, Dorothy.
She was a loving, devoted, dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved her children and adored her grandchildren. Her family meant everything to her. She loved and protected her family with a passion.
Valerie loved being involved in church; especially singing in choir as well as helping and serving people from the community. She was a real-estate agent and always went out of her way to help her clients. She was a lover of animals, especially her mini schnauzers. She loved shopping, traveling, and always making new friends.
She loved and served The Lord with a happy and joyful heart. She surrounded all those around her with joy, kindness, goodness, encouragement, and generosity. Her passing to glory leaves an immense void in the lives of her family; however, her godly legacy will live forever through her children and grandchildren.
At the same time Valerie’s left a lasting impact on all those around her. She is and will be missed forever. As a family friend recently remarked: “the world is poorer without Valerie, but the Heavens are richer for it”

Dear Auntie Vali,
rarely have I met a person that is so life affirming, optimistic, caring and loving like her. Despite us living on different continents and having met only few times, I always felt her close to my heart. Every message of her, every call and every nice package with gifts that I got from her were testaments of her love for me. Her smell, her clothes, her charisma, her heartily laugh and her soft hands with the ever beautifully painted nails, that I got to hold on to as a young girl, were heartwarming to me. Small details about her that I won't ever forget. Many years ago when I was little my mother got one package containing a small and beautiful pillow that smelled of lavender. It had the inscription "A sister is a forever friend.". I didn't understand what it meant back then, so my mother described it's meaning to me and the phrase stuck to me.
I always have to think of Vali and the meaning of family to her when I see the pillow hanging at the showcase in my parents' living room. One thing is certain: If one person understood this phrase and lived it, it was surely Vali. My mother and Vali had a deep connection and were frequently in contact, sometimes even daily. No concern was left unmentioned, no funny or beautiful experience unshared. I admired Vali and my mother for their wonderful relationship as siblings and they shaped my view on life and the meaning and importance of family. I am thankful to have had Vali as my aunt and for all the beautiful memories and what she gave and shared with me.
Every time when we chatted I ended our conversation with "I love and miss you Auntie". With the confidence that we will meet again in Heaven I say:
I love and miss you Auntie,
Your schatzilein Gabi

What is life? The Bible has many definitions - life was the light of the men, short full of troubles, the life is like a mist that appear for a little time and others… but the life can be define too by two numbers connected by a dash . The numbers are assigned to us not in accord with our will, but in accord with the days and times by the will of our Creator. The dash in between the numbers , we can live in accord with our will .
Linda Ellis wrote a beautiful poem “ The Dash” . I am going to read few verses :
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
From the beginning...to the end
He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
Know what that little line is worth
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars...the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
We are here to celebrate with the family the dash of Valeria Olivia Tica. Her dash is complete , ours is not, do I want to change something? Now is the time , tomorrow can be late.
2. Proverbs 18-22 states ; who can find a good wife finds the happiness, this is a grace received from God
Behind every great man , there is a great woman . And we have to remember that woman was behind him when he was not that great.
Corneliu , God loved you so much, He knew you need a strong woman behind you. Many of us can agree or disagree , for you , you do not have choices . Our God has hidden in your wife’s name the secret of your success . In the picture where you were young , you look like a skinny tree that needed a good support. Valeria Olivia was the support prepared from eternity for you. Valeria meaning - to be strong, Olivia - olive tree. What a beautiful mystery hidden in this combination - a strong olive tree who will bless and support you with the oil of her love and encouragement for more than 34 years. I can say more , but I will let you ,Corneliu fill in the blank…
3. A Romania poet said : Ce-I viața ta , e o penița , cu care scrii mereu pe-un drum
Apoi la ultima portiță
Ce-ai scris pe-a drumului tăbliță
Nu se mai șterge nicidecum.
What is your life?
It is a pen and you use it every day to write on the path of your life
Then , at the last gate
What you wrote on the scroll of your path
Will remain forever.
Everything what Vali wrote on her path of life , will be a treasure of memories for you Corneliu, Noel, Philip, Becky , Jimin , and all who knew her .
I pray that the blessing of love and joy, of that strong olive tree oil who was Valeria Olivia Tica to continue comforting and keep you together a strong family .
Lidia & Nelu Serban

Dear Vali,
it pains me that we shared so little time together on Earth. I wish my wife could have met you in person but it is all in God's hands and he knows when the time for each of us on Earth is right. You were the most loving and greatest aunt anyone could have asked for. I will never forget the love, warmth and understanding you showed me when I was a (sometimes very "teeny") teenager living at your house in 2008. You were incredibly selfless and generous in loving others and that was something where I especially saw Jesus (working) through you and that made a lasting impression on me. Surely it was no coincidence that I gave my life to Christ during the time that I stayed at your house. Through every common ground or even disagreement between us there was always LOVE. Thank you for having been an example of selfless love in my life and may God bless you thousandfold for it in eternity. I know that you are without pain, sorrow or earthly woes next to our Father in Heaven and I am happy to know that all is well for you now. I'm looking forward to see you there when the time comes. I love and miss you here!
Hugs and kisses
Manu

Dear Valerie,
We will miss you so much. Thank you for being the sister my mom never had. I will never forget all the memories we shared together. A sweet memory of you is when Jess, my mom, and I would come over to your house. You would serve us all these yummy teas and let us try out all your different shades of pink nail polish. Your positivity and laugh were contagious, and you lit up any room you walked into.
It felt like yesterday when Tim and I would meet you and my mom at your favorite cafe. Our dogs would play together while we talked over coffee. I would give anything to go back to those days and cherish them once more. I had no idea how quickly you would leave us. Even though you went home to be with the Lord I will miss you dearly.

Vali,
There aren’t enough words to describe how beautiful of a person you were both inside and outside.
I think back to my first memories of you many years ago.. we would come over and you would always offer to make us any teas we wanted. Before we would leave I would always admire your bright pink nail polish to which you would always give me the whole bottle to just take home with me. That was just who you were, generous, thoughtful and giving small joys away to everyone around you.
In more recent years I’ve gotten to see more of you as you were for as long as I can remember my mom’s best friend, and just like a second mom to me. There weren’t many days where when I was with my mom that you weren’t calling her or she wasn’t calling you to talk for hours.. Or days where you both weren’t meeting at the park for walks with Lexie. I loved the moments when I would run into you as well because your joyful spirit encouraged me so many times. Your friendship with my mom warmed my heart and showed me so much about what true friendship should look like.
Your faithfulness to God in difficult moments taught me about perseverance and all I can think is well done good and faithful servant. There’s truly a hole that can never be replaced for us without you here. We loved you and your beautiful personality so much. We are blessed to have known you and to have shared so many joyful moments with you and we know one day we will meet again, whole and made new <3

My aunt, Vali, was a joyful and loving person! I will always remember her joy and her love for me, especially when I was a child. She loved to take care of me, to take me with her to different places! I will always remember her love and generosity! Even back in Romania, when she was in her twenties and I was a little child, she would heap gifts on me. I received my first Bible from her and Corneliu, when they were newly-weds. I have beautiful memories of her and will never forget her joy and goodness! Truly, "the charm of a man is his kindness" - Proverbs 19:22.

Draga si Scumpa Prietena Valerie Tica,
Inainte de toate, condoleante familiei Tica!
As fi vrut sa nu pleci niciodata, sau sa fi plecat peste ani impreuna, deodata ca sa nu imi planga sufletul dupa tine om bun si drag! Aripi lungi de ingeri te-au purtat spre Cerurile Prea Inalte. Nu te-ai plans niciodata de nimeni si de nimic. Am vorbit nu de mult la telefon si nu mi-ai vorbit decat de bucuriile tale, de copii, de nepoti, de locul frumos la care te-ai reintors. Nu am stiut nimic despre durerea si suferinta ta. Nu ai cerut niciodata nimic, ca si cum viata ta nu ar fi fost decat o continua si imbelsugata succesiune de bucurii.... Si cand colo, tu sufereai de cancer, te luptai cu atatea suferinte trupesti, mergeai la tratamente, te gandeai la clientii care cumparau case. Oare la tine te-ai gandit vreodata? Faceam parte din acelasi grup de rugaciune si de citire a Bibliei. A catea oara oare am citit Biblia impreuna? Tu nu ai vorbit niciodata de durerea ta, ne-ai lasat pe noi sa vorbim de durerea noastra, ne-ai ascultat si ai tacut cand a venit randul tau. Sa fie oare adevarat ca cele mai frumoase cuvinte sunt acelea care nu se spun? Esti atat de frumoasa in gandul meu si asa vei ramane pentru totdeauna sora mea in Cristos! imi plange sufletul dupa tine Prietena mea draga si adevarata! Si asa cum umbrele coboara in seara de toamna timpurie, cand genunchii mi se inclina in rugaciune, imi aduc aminte de tine si de iubirea ta de oameni si pot sa spun cu mana pe inima ca: Tu, Vali , esti unul dintre putinii oameni care pot sa repete cuvintele Scripturii: Calcati pe urmele mele, caci eu calc pe URMELE LUI CRISTOS!!!!
Love for ever,
Cristina si Mihai Ciora

We will miss Valerie and know that we will see her again. We enjoyed being around her and loved her! She had so many characteristics but the ones that stand out were her generosity, joy, and love. She had a gregarious, friendly manner around everyone and made sure that all were included. She always talked about her grandchildren, children and husband.
Thank you Valerie for enriching our lives and making the world better.

My aunt, Vali, was the most beautiful person - inside and out. She always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face. She was a faithful servant of Christ and reflected Him throughout her daily life. I saw her last year in August of ‘21 and she told me at that time that she was ready to meet the Lord whenever her time would be. Although this grieving process is tough and I miss her dearly, I’m at peace knowing she is resting in the arms of our Father. Vali truly made the people around her feel loved and always had a joke to say that would continuously put a smile on everyone else’s face. Goodbyes are tough, but I am looking forward to the day that I’ll see her again and give her the biggest, warmest hug.
- Iulia ❤️

Vali will always be remembered as being such a bubbly, sweet, positive person with a heart for everyone around her! She was always so welcoming and friendly. The minute you met her you realized there would be no place for short, awkward conversation because she was full of life and hospitality. She could talk to anyone about anything and made people feel so comfortable and as though they were old friends. I loved her personality, humor, and sarcasm from the day I met her. She will be terribly missed but her memory lives on in our hearts. We will always remember the meaningful and fun memories we created with her!
I love you, Vali!

I have known Vali for almost 6 years. The first time I met her I knocked on her door to hang out with her son, Noel. Her smile lit up the room and she was one of the most joyous people I ever met. She invited me in to wait for Noel to get home and we ended up talking for over an hour about God, life, family, and so much more. From there on, we remained friends and I always looked forward to seeing her the next time I went to visit. I admired her faith and love for God, along with her commitment to her family which includes her little dogs that I know she loved so much. She not only made my life better, but she is leaving this world a better place. She made a huge impact on my life and left an example on how to be such a loving and caring person. I Praise God for getting to know Vali. May she rest in her heavenly home forever. I will miss you but know I will see you again. ❤️

My mother was the best mother anyone could ask for. She not only lived to serve others, she served and sacrificed so much for her family as well. Not only was she a great mother but she was an even better grandmother. From the moment Dolly was born, she was over the moon and could never get enough of her. I wish that she could have lived longer to see Dolly grow up.
I am glad that she is no longer suffering here on earth. I will miss her very much but look forward to seeing her again soon in the presence of the Lord.
Your baby boy,
Philip

Sweetest friend,
I did not expect you to leave us so soon. I will forever cherish the memories we made together. There has never been a kinder, more generous soul.
I am so grateful for you, not only for raising your son to be a godly man, but for introducing me to him and being our number one supporter from day one. Thank you for praying for us and for providing us with wisdom in these first 5 years of marriage.
Thank you also for being a fantastic grandmother to Dolly. I am so sorry she will not grow to know you, but we will carry on the memories and the legacy you left by telling her just how much she was loved and adored by her grandmother.
It is sad to see you go, but I am honored to have known you.
Farewell, beautiful angel. Heaven is a more dazzling place with you.
Love, Becky

To my loving mother in law Valerie Tica,
From the moment we met as friends, you were a special person in my life. You were so caring, loving, patient, selfless, and generous. You always loved me and adored me like your own daughter. And I can never forget the love you showered on me. I still remember all the days we spent together. We went out shopping, cute cafes, lunch dates, concerts, chatted all day long at the house, watched movies, and so much more… I knew you only for 3 years, but those years were so precious and I would never exchange them for anything else. My love for you is still ongoing… I thank God for sending you into my life and allowing me to be your daughter in law. You have allowed me to have your best gift, your priceless possession son, Noel. I am extremely grateful for our relationship and you will always be in our hearts. I miss every part of you. Your beautiful voice, your bright smiles, your love for makeup and jewelry, and your warm hugs. I wish I could have another day with you…
Mom, we love you… you left a tremendous influence on our life. I will forever cherish all the moments we spent together. God blessed our family through you, and he is still blessing us through your passing. Your life was beautiful. Your love for us and Eliel will be forever remembered. Thank you for being my mom… ❤️May you rest peacefully in heaven. And I’m looking forward to the days that I will spend the rest of my life in heaven and enjoying your presence again.

for my friend Valerie (Vali) a truly beautiful soul ,so loyal and so kind,you will live on forever in my heart and in my mind.Our friendship was truly priceless ,i will cherish it forevermore until the day that we meet again,i wish i had just one more chance to see that tender smile ,to laugh with you again just for a little while.
Dear Vali ,i will never forget September 28,2022 it seemed so surreal seeing you lying motionless in that bed ,tears swelled up in my eyes as I remembered how you had been such a good friend to me.Your abrupt departure from this earth caught us completely off-guard .It's hard to express the pain i felt from losing you ,we shared so many good memories together and it's hard to believe that you're gone. You displayed such strength and courage even though your heart was weak and your body was gradually breaking down.You knew that the Lord was with you at all times and you never despaired of life,no matter how tough it got.
Thank you for leaving us with a legacy of your faith that stirs our hearts towards our Creator. Now the angels rejoice as a good soul has finally made its way home !
My sincere sympathy to you and your family.
" you have fought the good fight ,ran the race and kept the faith ( 2 Timothy 4:7)
your friend Alexandrina Dume

I was blessed to have in Vali an amazing friend and I can’t believe that she is gone. Her positive attitude and her upbeat spirit makes it hard to accept how quickly she left. Everything she did, she did it fast and with joy. I miss her laughs and her sense of humor, the ability to make fun at her own expense and still feel good about herself. She was always encouraging and supportive of everyone in her life. Because of her innocence she only saw the best in people and didn’t turn her back on those who depended on her. Right now she is in Heaven with the One she loved and loved her first. She is probably meeting up my sister and many others that left before and she is giving a full report. Our Vali, the one and only ❤️

My mother,
Was the sheer embodiment of what a Christ-like mother should be…
she never ever sensed to amaze me over the years with all the patience, wisdom, kindness, generosity, compassion, gentleness, and love that emitted from her heart. As I think of all the memories I had with her all these years from a child to this point, I can’t stop thinking the fact that, she, Valeria Olivia Tica, was my mother. One of the most blessed Godly mother’s a son could ever ask for. Even as a relative or friend to them, they would say, with such adoration that they were blessed to have known her and they too miss her as well.
I look forward, oh, so very forward to the day that I’ll meet her again. But this one truth I know with all my heart and she the same, that “to live is Christ! And to die is gain.”
“The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Te iubesc mama așa de mult

I will forever miss my dear friend Valerie we shared 20 years of friendship.
She was the sister I never had. I was drawn to her kind heart and bubbly personality. Her fashion, with her bright fingernails and pink lipstick, were a reflection of her even brighter personality.
She loved life and lived it to the fullest. She was the embodiment of what a cheerful giver should be like and she loved the Lord with all her heart.
Even when she moved away to Texas we still kept in touch. I was so excited when I found out her family decided to move back to Georgia.
One of my favorite memories with her will be watching the sunset from our favorite cafe. She insisted she wanted to sit in the chair looking out so she could see the sun till it finally set. Now she is with the One who knits the colors of the sunset together. Even though I thank God she was a part of my life I will still miss her forever.

Valy, my dear friend…
Your sweet friendship refreshed my soul.
You’ve colored my life with laughter and joy.
We’ve walked the same diagnosis path almost at the same time; and you’ve been brave, encouraging and strong. You stood firm in your faith, and you’ve trusted God’s plan.
You put meaning and warmth in this little diamond heart when you gifted it to me on cold Valentine’s Day.
Until we meet again on the other side, my life will continue to blossom with vibrant colors of life, trusting God and fully knowing one day our love will be complete in Him!

I am Valerie's older brother. Valerie, my other sister Rodica and I grew up in an idyllic small town in Transylvania, Romania. Our parents provided for us a small piece of heaven where we were surrounded by love and support. Life was not easy but in our home we never lacked laughter and joy. Valerie, as the youngest was spoiled by the attention and care of both parents and siblings.
There are so many fond memories. For example, I remember after moving away to a large city, on many occasions I would send home care packages with gifts for the family. Valerie was often the main beneficiary. One time she was outside the home showing off her new gifts to neighbors. One neighbor remarked to Valerie that she must have a very generous and loving brother. Upon hearing that - Valerie answered that "yes, my brother loves me so much he would send me an airplane if I asked him to. But I haven't asked..." We often remembered her remark and would be amused.
As much love as Valerie was given - in turn she gave more of it away. She loved our entire family with no reserve. She was like a second mother to my children, David, Eliza and Iulia. We will never forget her smile, her contagious joy and the way she selflessly sacrificed for all around her.
Valerie will be deeply missed but her life will shine in our memories forever. As a family friend recently remarked: "the world is poorer without Valerie, but the Heavens are richer for it".

I will greatly miss my dear friend, Valerie Tica, who is now in the loving arms of Jesus- the Lord God Almighty!
Valerie was a true follower of Jesus Christ and loved others with the joy of Christ.
Valerie inspired me with her faith, joy and love. She greatly loved her husband, Cornelius and her precious sons, Philip and Noel.
She had great compassion for animals as well.
She was a prayer warrior! Her prayers were without ceasing!
She had a great love for the United States of America and supported godly government officials.
Her testimony of growing up in Romania under communism and being persecuted for having a Bible and being a Christian was profound!
Valerie was a proverbs 31 woman – hard-working and always there for her family! She trusted God, laughed at the days to come, wisdom, faith, took care of the affairs of her household, and never idol.
Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her”.
Valerie was filled with the Holy Spirit and the fruit showed in her very being– love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, patience and self-control.
Valerie loved God wholeheartedly!
Her life truly touched my own!
Love,
Lynda Reese Bradley

Our sincere condolences for the loss you are going through.
There was one thing that was so obvious and refreshing ... Vali was always smiling. And she was exuding this inner unexplainable peace. Her strength and resolve was coming from her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, whom she loved.
Praying for comfort for your heart, knowing that we, those who have been known by Jesus, will reunite again.

Valy was an amazing woman. She was the most generous person I’ve ever met; she gave her time, resources and love with abandon. When my now husband had a bad accident in Texas, Valy and Cornelius went out of their way to go see him and bring food and meds while he waited to come home. We will never forget that! Valy always had a smile on her face, a kind word and loved to laugh. She will be so very missed, but we are thankful for our hope in Jesus and know we will see her again in heaven.
