Phoebe Snow(1950-2011)

Snow's only child, her daughter, Valerie Rose, was born December 12, 1975, with a condition known as hydrocephalus. Physicians predicted at Valerie's birth that she would not live very long. Valerie proved physicians wrong. Many advised Snow to institutionalize Valerie, but Snow never considered doing so. Valerie lived to be thirty-one years old. Following Valerie's death on March 19, 2007, Snow made it a point to dedicate each and every performance to her.
