I was a friend of Gretchen's and went to school with her. I didn't know her as much as others, but she still had a place in my heart like the rest of us. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just know that she is in a better place with no pain.

I have not been in any of your shoes so I cannot say that I know what you are going through. What I know, because of your beliefs, is that your seeet loved one is in Heaven and you WILL see her again. I have been a friend of Darlenes for years and any family member of hers is a friend of mine. Prayers of comfort and hugs to know you are all being though about and prayed for. Hold close to one another and hold close to the memories of this Heaven-bound angel.

I had been praying for and following Gretchen's journey from the beginning. I am so sorry for your loss. The hope we have as Christians is that we will all be together again someday but it doesnt help us hurt any less right now. God's peace be with you all.
