Every time she talks about Eddie it makes me cry, they had the love of a life time....It shows in every video you see of them...True love..Even though they were married to other people they still loved each other..

Tom was constantly reminded of that.

[@JulietParrottMerrell]

This was a great interview. It was nice to see two of my kindreds together talking about something I too can relate to. Although I miss his smiling face a lot, I love how Ed’s passing wasn’t the main focus this time. I also could really relate to what Valerie said about how she thought that being overweight made her unlovable. I too have made that misstep and am now working to correct it. Yay me! 😊 Saw Valerie do another interview from the same physical space. I was waiting for a kitty to walk by then but saw none. It was great to see one walk by this time. 🥰🥰🥰

[@annscott4432]

Yea. Tired of hearing about Ed. Although separated, I feel sorry for Tom and Janie their spouses. I’m convinced was a big part of both split ups but Tom and Janie have too much class to speak out about Valerie’s obsession of Eddie even after death.

[@lolaalaniz9620]

Thank you Drew, for this interview. I got Valarie's book "Enough Already" I love the book... I am glad I got it. I could relate or Identify with a lot of what I was reading. Once I began to read it was hard to put the book down. I loved hearing about the romance of her beloved Ed ; Beautiful love story. I mean no disrespect to your now husband Tom,, but I think Ed was your soulmate as people say... I love your relationship with your son . I love the way the three of you stayed close until the end of Ed' s life here on earth. I love the way you experienced Ed afterwards. "Rest in Peace Ed" I hope your son all the success in his music career. I hope to listen to the song he wrote in honor of his father. Best wishes Valarie in what God has for you in your future surely it will be amazing. 💖 ✝️ Thank you for sharing your pictures and your recipes, that was so generous of you. ❤ peace to your heart. ❤✝️ God bless you.

Well said. Love, love and love!

[@dalbriggss]

I listened to Valerie’s book “Enough Already” via audio book and it was definitely my favorite book out of the other books she has written. I have read them all, and I have to say this one is great! She is a really good writer, and she has personally verbally narrated/read all of her books (so we can listen via Audio book), and her voice is soothing and kind of cathartic and really keeps your interest & relaxes you (which is what a book is designed to do). She definitively could have a future in narration or voice for animated movies similar to “Nemo” or “Shrek”, or Lion King …. As she has that kind of voice.

[@juleepeacock5379]

Thank you Drew for your amazing abilities to just connect and be real with everyone one . I have enjoyed watching you since you were a little girl and it stands true today I still love and admire you. I can relate to everything Valerie Burtonelli said on your show and book. She is like yourself very down-to-earth. I have recently been Diagnosed with Nash which that on top of having diabetes Has really put me on a very limited food menu. With Nash it is critical to eat a certain way I would love If it was tasty recipes made for specific health conditions such as Nash to get some sort of flavor back into my life. I'm having to try to learn to cook different, maybe Valerie could be of some help in cooking Recipes for people with liver disease. God bless you too sweet special Women.❤

[@stoplookingformyname3721]

Why so much hatred towards trolls? We should be accepting of all people and that includes trolls. Tell a troll today that you love them and maybe give them some money and encourage them in their trolling activities. Trolls have feelings too. Make 2022 the year of the troll!

[@peggygibbons479]

And if Eddie's wife & your X husband didn't understand the love you two still had, that's on them. The Greeks have 5 different words for love. We have one :( At my funeral, I hope the Pastor says, "If Peggy ever told you she loves you, please raise your hand." and I hope EVERYONE there raises their hand! Then the Pastor will say, "And we will now play a Bruce Springsteen song." But that's a whole nother story! LOL

Does Valerie regret leaving Wolfie's nanny at the airport in Las Vegas. Even though, she had also been playing the slot machines and gave the nanny her cup of coins to keep playing, knowing all along that Wolfie was having fun watching the lights and sounds of the machine? Did Valerie ever find out why Ed freaked out and got so angry? Here's the answer. The Nanny won the jackpot with all 7's. The red light on the top of the slot machine went off lit and spinning. When the nanny asked Ed to hold Wolfie, so she could find out what to do about it, Ed went ballistic yelling at the nanny that she shouldn't have had Wolfie with her at the slots and where was Val. While this tyraid was happening loud and publicly, the slot machine cashier closed her door. It was probably the red jackpot light that triggered Ed's insane reaction. Nanny was unable to claim her winnings from the Jackpot. Then left her there watching you and Ed, with Wolfie, wave at her with fake smiles on the walkway to the plane going to Canada.
