It is awful I cannot express my words or feelings at present but I know I have just lost one of my dearest and close friends even though we have never met.

She sent me several photos of her growing up and as a young women I think this is my favourite one of her in ninth grade

My prayers are that the Lord comfort you and your family. May you find strength in the knowledge of a glorious reunion we will all have at the feet of our Lord and Saviour.

What?! This is the former GretchenEE? Oh crud, I had no idea she was even ill. Oh crud; now everything’s all blurry. Oh crud; I’m so sorry for your loss, Mark. We had some pleasant correspondence... but with the FRemail search perennially broken, I doubt I could find it. We go ‘way back.

This is very sad.

Her ongoing thread about her cousin CARRIE is a testament to the power of prayer.

Rest in Peace, dear lady.

Dolly, thanks for posting the link to your thread of her on the Finest. Her personality, humor and love of Christ show through in her words.

Dolly, we can edit or fix the body of a thread where the first article or story is, and we can fix titles, but we do not have any way to be able to edit posts on a thread. The only thing we can do with a post on a thread is to remove it.

We received your FReepmail and I have removed your post #8, if you’d like to repost it.

Prayers for GretchenM and her family.

Mark, I am stunned, and will keep you, and Carrie, in my prayers. Your Mom has everything she needs ♥ Carrie and your family are an inspiration. From a Mom POV, however, I'm thrilled to know you're glad about the table manners.

Eragon at present I am too shocked for tears though they are at the back of my eyes, she was a very very special person and I loved her dearly.

Dangit.

She's in a better place than we are, and we hope to see her eventually.

This was the last thing I expected to see.

I'm shocked and numbed by this.

Gretchen was one of the first friends I made on FR ... In her own quiet way, she was one of the pillars of this site.

When she asked me to be a Dose host, I told her that everyone on that thread is like a second family to me, and it's true. Gretchen was like a big sister ...

I don't have any brothers or sisters in real life, so that relationship meant a lot to me personally.

I just realized that Gretchen is now reunited with her brother that passed away last year. Praise God and thank You for Your mercy.
