Andy, He is at the House..

Colin, your mother was a wonderful lady. I have so many fond memories of her. She touched so many people in such a positive way with her kindness, generosity and knowledge.
May you find comfort in knowing how much she was loved, Cindy (Coblentz) Kern

Gretchen McLain was my teacher, Colleague and Friend for many years. She had a profound effect on her students, colleagues, her community, and treasured her family like no other mother I know. In recent years her former students including former Mayor Marge Pfrommer and Frank Pfrommer came to know her as friends thru the community activities. Gretchen took the reigns of the Historical Society, keeping Franklin Township's History alive so future generations would have an account of our roots....

I am so sorry to hear this! Gretchen has not only been a customer of mine for many years but also a dear friend. Even though she was retired she still loved spreading her knowledge! I have enjoyed the time I spent sitting with her for hours chatting and learning about our community and it's history at the community center! She was such a sweet woman and she is going to be greatly missed within our community! I pray she is at peace<3

I had Mrs. McLain for English and knew her and have seen her quite often through the years! Sorry to hear of her passing ... Prayers to your family ??

Thank You Mrs. McLain for being my teacher at Delsea, and teaching me how to speak and righttt (kidding: "Write") correctly. Thanks especially for the individual tutoring You gave me on my 1ST Senior Class Term paper..(Got An "A")...I mean I DID live next DOOR !
There will always be fond memories of you from soooo many people you helped...Colin, I know what you're feeling...Let It Be...(and) Mrs. Mclain, we'll meet again in another "Class"....Thanks Again from one of your ("Best" ??)...
