My mother Rosalind Wood and Ms Gretchen worked together for many years (30 years) at the Laborers Union on Home Ave in San Diego. Gretchen was one of my mothers dearest and longest friends. Gretchen always had an amazing positive attitude and a warm sincere smile and good word for everyone. I remember picking up my mom for lunch at the Laborer's from time to time and Gretchen was always so thoughtful and asked about my son, never forgetting his name she always made me feel special. In the later years, I attended a few of the "Better Breathers" meetings and events with my mom and again through all that Ms Gretchen had been through with her health, she was always upbeat, laughing and again flashing that amazingly warm smile, which never seemed to disappear. Ms Gretchen I know you are at peace with your husband, family and friends and feeling fabulous. Please know that my mother will miss you terribly until you meet again. thank you for being so very kind and a great friend to my dear mother. My sincere, condolences to her dear sons. I pray for peace during this difficult time xoxox Lauri Walker
