Those are very pretty. Gretchen must have had a green thumb.

What a beautiful legacy Gretchen has left her loved ones.

What a beautiful tribute to a mother from a loving son.

God bless and comfort her family.

beyond sad...my sincere condolences to her family and friends. I remember how proud she always was of Sabrina’s accomplishments and her eagerness to share them with the Dose friends. She will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, Gretchen, my prayers are with you and your loved ones.

I did not know her, but my prayers for her family and especially her son. It’s a hard thing to lose a mother, no matter your age.

When my grand daughter was ill, GretchenM was among those who offered her prayers for my grand daughter's recovery.

My granddaughter was in awe of the idea that people from all over the world were praying for her renewed health.

She is fine, now.

May God Bless her for taking that moment among countless others to pray for the health and well being of people from all over.

And May God bless her family as well.

I am shocked and saddened.

Like many, Gretchen was one of the first to help me to feel welcome when I first arrived at FReerepublic.

I don't know what to say.

My heart goes out to her family and friends and to all of the FReepers that she was so near and dear to.

I think that is only about 3 or 4 years ago Dolly looking at the photo of Mark, she sent me one of him last Thanksgiving and he seems very much a similar age.

This is so sad!! I’ve been praying for her niece, Carrie, since she was in a car accident several months ago. This is so very sad. Her family will continue to be in my prayers.

Dolly, I wanted you to see the above. When my husband passed away, I got so many prayers sent up by all the Freepers. Jim R. put the article up for me because I wasn’t sure how to do an article. I have the thread in my bookmarks. I looked for you all but couldn’t find. I did find some familiar names though. It was interesting to look back. GOD HAS GRETCHEN IN HIS CARE NOW AND SHE WILL SUFFER NO MORE. Bless her heart...will remember her son in my prayers.

Sad to hear this. Gretchen was appreciated greatly here; now she’ll take her place in her true Home, minus all the hindrances. You’ve given honor to your Mom. May peace and comfort envelop your family.

Paul

Dear God. I knew she wasn’t fully healthy but had no idea this was even a possibility.

Prayers lifted for her family. Gretchen, Friend, you will be Missed.

A loving, caring, intelligent compassionate woman.

I wasn’t even aware of any problems she was having.

May she rest in peace.

Thank you Mark for this email about your Mother.

She was indeed loved here, and was a comfort to many.

When another beloved FR person passed away in 2004, your Mother posted this:

Very sad announcement: Our beloved Freeper RJayneJ has passed away ^
  Posted by GretchenEE to JohnHuang2; Brad
On News/Activism ^ 04/18/2004 1:03:15 PM PDT · 183 of 393 ^

JH2, thank you so much for the announcement.

Brad, your mother was one of my favorite folks around here. Her selfless service to this site and the conservative cause, in the midst of lingering illness, was an inspiration to me. I will miss her clarity of mind, faithfulness and many other virtues. Of course, you will miss her more. My condolences to you and all your family.

This post of hers about RJayneJ could very well be used to illustrate how your Mother was seen here.

May God comfort you and your family at this time.

His Love is Eternal

John 14:1-3
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

~~~
What a beautiful tribute to your wonderful Mother, Mark
Heaven has gained but GretchenM will be sorely missed here.
She is resting in God's arms. May The Lord comfort you.
