I am so very sorry to learn of Gretchen’s passing. I got the chance to meet her & Olivia before Christmas. They were both so nice & kind. Olivia was so proud to show me their cats & kittens. Gretchen text me a whole bunch of fun Christmas pictures after the holiday. My thoughts & prayers are with her family & friends.
I was saddened to learn of Gretchen’s death today through her obituary in the LNP. Some years ago she contacted me about the possibility of her sending Ethan to Elizabeth R. Martin and I enjoyed hearing about her life as an adult. I wish for good things for her children in the future.
