Susan Krietemeyer Porter wrote a sympathy message

“I'm not sure why Gretchen was on my mind this morning, but I decided to do a google search to see if I could find her & found her obituary instead. I'm heart broken. I knew Gretchen from Dr. Paige's office in Ocala. She was a ray of sunshine every visit. She also came to visit my babies when they were born. Gretchen was a sweet, wonderful soul. Everyone who knew her loved her. I know she is singing & dancing in Heaven now & is perfect & whole in the presence of our Savior. Susan Porter”
