Jim: Our deepest condolences to you and your family on Gretchen's passing. We are gratified that we were able to visit the nursing home last Saturday to bid her farewell but regret that we'll be unable to attend her funeral service this Saturday. Currently we are in Scotch Plains, New Jersey to welcome our new granddaughter, Ella Joanna Fleckenstein, who was born yesterday to Luke and Cristina. Sincerely, Joan and Lee Fleckenstein and Family
