A good friend to Gretchen and Pat has been trying to reach Pat. He and I are members of the Orange County Freedom Committee, an organization of military veterans. Could you please contact me or pass to Pat to contact me? Thank you. The friend is George Ciampa and I'm Tom Gorla at 949-466-6333. We are both members of the same organization.
Condolences to Pat for his loss. George is anxious to talk with Pat.

Gretchen- When she spoke she shared from her heart, always teaching with sincerity and always managing to correct and encourage all. She never belittled for ignorance or error but guided all to her Savior. Her words were wrapped in her love for Jesus and genuine concern for her listeners! She was a great intelligence living among us who loved not only the truth but all who came to her in order to learn of the Truth.
