I have known Gretchen since we were both at the University of Georgia. Later, we worked together at Delta Air Lines. Her wonderful sense of humor and compassion for people and animals will never be forgotten. We have spent time together in the last few years, volunteering with animal rescues. I will miss her very much. Much love to her family at this difficult time.
