Valerie Gryniewicz

Valerie was my best friend from grade K to 12th grade. I still value her friendship today. I extend my sincere sympathy to all her family.

I have just heard the sad news. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Valerie and she was a wonderful support for NARS and ISM. She was always smiling and upbeat in all of our times working together and very tolerant of the 'academic timeframe'! My condolences and from all of us at SCMI in San Diego.

I am sorry for your loss. Valerie will be greatly missed by me and many others in the academic community. She was an integral part of ISM. She always had a smile for me and was a wonderful, caring person.

Valerie had the gift of making everyone feel like the best thing that happened to her was that she had a chance to talk with them. My sympathy to her family at this time.

Valerie was so many things...trouper, writer, manager, mom, wife and more. She was loyal, generous and, sometimes stubborn. All of which made her a special person to know care about.

I am so sorry for your loss, Valerie was a special person. I worked with her for the past 12 years; however, my fondest memories are our lunchroom chats. From books to recent events, Valerie always offered a delightful conversation. She will be missed.

I worked with Val at ISM several years ago. She was always helpful, upbeat and optimistic. So sorry for your loss.

Paul, Tony & Amy:

In sorrow, we mourn those lost. In gratitude, we embrace those around us. In sympathy, we reach out to those who grieve. Please know that there are others that share your sorrow. Val "is" a wonderful lady that is sharing her love of sunflowers with Christ in his eternal garden. She helped me with comfort and peace during Weekend 128 when I lost my son just two weeks before. Smile Val, Smile. Your greatest joy was making other people happy.

Love in Christ...always

Paul, Amy & Tony - I am so sorry and sad about Val. She was one of my closest cousins and as little girls we said we were sisters because neither of us had one! We would stay overnight at Grandma & Grandpa Havir's and play dolls for hours! She was a sweet & gentle soul who blossomed when she met Paul. I'm glad for the wonderful life & family Paul gave her. She will be missed! Love, Cousin Pat (Hreha)& Terry Cook

My deepest condolences to the Gryniewicz and Dilger families, on Valerie's passing.

I am so sorry for your loss of Val. My sincerest condolences to the Gryniewicz family, Paul, Amy, Tony and grandchildren. As first cousins growing up in Minneapolis, I have many fond memories of Valerie, especially her sweet smile and silly laugh. Peace be with you all... Laurie Farnam

Dear Paul, Amy, Tony, & family-We are all so sorry for your loss. Valerie was always one of my favorite Scout & Band moms! She was always there for our kids, whether it was helping out at our Blue & Gold Banquet or helping me slap together "Bandwiches". Valerie was one of the most cheerful, positive people I've ever met with her sweet nature & her Minnesota accent! Her kindness & her service to others will truly be missed. Our hearts go out to all of you - Mike,Terri, & Andrew Lewellen

Dearest Paul, Amy and Tony -
I wish we could be there with you this week. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
