So sorry to hear of Gretchen's passing. She worked for me at the Alexander City Career Center for a time, and was a very good employee. A beautiful young woman, who loved people and sincerely trying to help people. Whenever we meet after my retirement she always greeted me with a smile, and I too was glad to see her. Our community has lost another person who did good deeds. She will be missed. To the family, "TRUST GOD to see you through the days ahead," without her physical presence. Remember the good times.
