(The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle!

Our Friend Valerie Gendernalik Is Dead


  • Investigation ongoing in fatal shooting
  • Gendernalik killed by gunshot wound to head

    The photo on the left was taken in 1995 or 1996. My dear friend Larisa Gendernalik, volunteered the baby sitting services of her daughter Valerie. Joel loved when Valerie watched him.

    The photo on the right was taken at Chanukah on Ice in late 2005. Jo Ann is standing next to beautiful Valerie. Valerie was probably about 22 or 23 years old at the time.

    Sadly, Valerie died tragically this past Memorial Day Weekend in Fort Collins. It is believed she was shot. Please pray for the Gendernalik family.
