Not sure what to say?

It is difficult for me to truly express the grief I still feel in the loss of Gretchen. She was my sister-in-law and later became one of my best friends. She endured many losses, but losing her son was almost unbearable. Gretchen was fun to be with and was very bright. I so wish I could have been more connected with her in her last years. I loved her so much and miss her deeply. Diana Parker

Today is Wednesday, November 11, 2020. I did a podcast on ITunes, Spotify, and Podbean, recently and told about my sweet friend Gretchen and how her cat Malie, was instrumental in Gretchen believing in Christ. I’ve tried to reach out to Gretchen several time, but unsuccessful. I just re-listened to the podcast and story about her, and thought I would just search her name. I’m in tears right now as I read about this beautiful, kind, neighbor I had in Greeley, CO and this wonderful story of...

Jason was a good friend of mine growing up in Fort Collins, and his mom Gretchen was always a favorite of all the kids. It was a sad loss when Jason left us, and it was a sad heart that I am hearing of the loss of "Mrs. Wheeler" Many would agree that this is indeed a loss to all of us.

Just finding out today devastated me when I was called. I will always remember her as my beautiful cousin that I would visit on family trips to Colorado .She will be deeply missed as part of my life .

I will always remember Gretchen as a very caring and giving person. She touched my life in many ways and was there to help me with my son Victor as he was growing up. I had many great times with her and her family as well as friends. I will certainly miss her.
She will live on in our hearts and memories forever.

In loving memory of our dear friend who will be missed.

I already miss her so much. She was more than my friend - more like a second mom. I hope she knows how much I love her still, and how much I will miss her smile and great laugh. She gave me a lot of good advice (most of which I didn't realize WAS good advice until I was much older....) and she always had time to spend with me. I regret that I didn't get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked, but will treasure the last visit my mom and I made to spend a week with her in Fort...
