I wish I had known about your mother passing and services. Would have attened for my mothers' memory. The two of them were such special friends, all their lives. I am disapointed and feel I left both my mother and Gretchen down. I saw Gtetchen about 6 weeks before she died. As always, she and I reminised and I would tell her how wonderful she was with us kids. I loved being at her house and felt she was more of a mother to me than just my moms' friend. A wonderful Lady and I will miss going to see her. I will have mass said in her memory.
