Gretchen left this world much too soon. I will always remember her for her beautiful smile and infectious laugh. She and I shared a love for animals and for that reason I will be making a donation to the ASPCA in honor of her memory. I take comfort in the knowledge that she is in Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus, along with her brother, Eric, and her sister, Karen. She is no longer suffering. Gretchen is now happy, joyful, and at peace forevermore. i say a temporary goodbye for now until I see you again in paradise!

I was deeply saddened learning the news of Gretchen's passing. She was much too young to leave her loved ones. She gave me two wonderful grandsons and will be greatly missed. I'm sure that God will have a special place in Heaven with beautiful tropical flowers, palm trees, and white sandy beaches for Gretchen to enjoy which were things that she loved so much.
