My deepest sympathies to your family. Gretchen was a wonderful person who made each person she met feel special. I never saw her without a smile. She will be greatly missed by all she touched. (I knew Gretchen through her beading, online and at shows)

It was hard not to love Gretchen. If I've ever known a " pure " soul, it was She. Just for the record, Gretchen always left me feeling better when she left, then I did before she came around. She always supported me, and was one of the first to congratulate me when I went off on my own. Our lives are less by her passing, yet richer for her having blessed us with her joy. I will miss you, young lady. Condolences to her family, and welcome to mine....

So many wonderful memories with this woman. Some of the most fun times in my life were spent hanging out with Gretchen. She influenced me in many positive ways. I am so grateful we got to share so much time in our early lives together. I couldn't imagine growing up without you in my life. You mean so much to me, I will love you forever.
