Praying that peace is found among you and yours. May you carry her smile, laugh, and memories with you forever. I will never forget Gretchen; although I never got to know her, I grew very close to her. Thinking of you all and believing that she surrounds herself around you all, continuously providing comfort and strength. Annie, ICU RN

Dear Jensen Family,
We have been praying for you continually, and will not stop. Your Gretchen was always kind. We enjoyed the many weekends we spent with her and all of you during softball over the years. We are so sorry for this loss. God Bless You.

So sad to hear that a great person has passed away. I had the honor of coaching Gretchen in B-squad basketball and seeing her smile on a daily basis. She will be missed.

I didn't get the honor of personally knowing Gretchen. We went to school together for many years never really knowing each other. When I heard what happened I was deeply saddened because I knew that she was a sweet and kind person. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Gretchen and your family. I'm so sorry that you had to leave us too soon. ~Emily

A beautiful person and teacher who worked with and cared for our grandson, Wes, at All Stars Montessori. I remember Gretchen most for her gorgeous smile. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gretchen's parents and brother and sisters who saw that smile every day. Frank and Barb Blanchard
