I was sad to hear of the passing of this great woman. I worked with her in Mobile in the 1980s, we had some of the most spirited discussions on politics, education, life, faith, and sometimes just nonsense for fun, her sense of humor and intelligence are things I remember most, the world is a lesser place with her leaving it. I'm sure she's giving advice to Saint Peter on some issue right now lol. She'll always be missed.

Condolences to Gretchen's family. She will be missed by many. I worked with her in the coast guard. I wish I had understood what she was trying to say back then. I still probably wouldn't have listened, but she was right. Gretchen was a great friend and will be missed by all.

"Go rest high on that mountain for we know your work on earth is done". Although I did not see you much in the past few years I remember all the early days, you were always full of like and a true joy to be around, I can only hope that I could bring people a small portion of laughter that you brought to people, rest easy and kiss your mom and your aunt Deal (grandmaw Winchester) you will missed upon this earth. love you!!!!

May angels bear thee to thy rest....
Gretchen was one of the finest women I have ever had the privilege of knowing.A truly genuine, kind, and unique person. The world is much less brighter place without Gretchen in it. She shines as brightly as the stars now, and rests in the arms of God.
My prayers and condolences go out to the entire family with much love. I will remember her in prayer at mass.

Oh Georgia, if only there were something I could say. Your mother was an amazing woman; you see a lot of her in you. And while she herself may no longer be here, her spirit lives on in you and the rest of her family. I know so little about her, so I want to hear some stories! I'm sure she had some amazing tales. I love you guys, and keep her memory alive. Because if her memory lives on, she will never really leave.
