I have very fond memories of Gretchen since a child. She was my cousins great aunt, but I always considered her my great aunt as well. I will miss her.

I've known Gretchen my entire life and she always was very kind. First through Sacred Heart, then working with her at Old Second and finally through marriage (distantly). She looked wonderful the last time I saw her, just 4 weeks ago. I will always remember her as kind, caring and warm. Jim and Pat, we know this is a deep loss for you. She will remain in our prayers.

I remember Gretchen from her years at the Old Second National Bank. My father and mother knew Gretchen and always spoke highly of her. She was an intelligent woman, a personable lady and the Old Second was fortunate to have had her in their employ. We send our sincerest sympathies to her family.
