My thoughts were with all today.

Gretchen was a very special person. She was intelligent, thoughtful, warm, and the ultimate homemaker. There was very little about Human Resources she didn't know and her contribution to our organization was very significant in many ways. All of us who were fortunate enough to work (and play) with her can attest to how special she was. Her passing peacefully as she did was most likely God's blessing for a life well lived. She will be missed by those who knew and loved her. Our deepest sympathy to her entire family.

Gretchen fought the good fight as she always did. She is in a better place. Those of us who knew Gretchen were always in a better place when we were with her. She will be greatly missed but not forgotten.

Think of all of you,
