A sad goodbye to my childhood friend who spent hours with me making mud pies, climbing trees and collecting girl scout badges. Please hold a spot for me at the Pearly Gates, my old friend! I'll see you once more. Love, Shannon Navarre Oswald

Gretchen, you are the most loving, giving person I know. I will miss my best friend and travel buddy. We sure did have fun shopping for Halloween decorations and Christmas ornaments at Hallmark. Our adventures were always fun. I love and miss you so much. I will see you again one day my friend.
Gretchen was such a loving, kindhearted, giving person. We were travel buddies. I will miss her so much.
