Jonathan and I shared many laughs and good times with Gretchen and Dan. She was truly a wonderful person, and the world will certainly be a lesser place without her.

Our sincere condolences to Dan and her family.

I was so sorry to hear about Gretchen; she was truly a wonderful woman, always ready with a smile or a laugh. Gretchen and Dan were fun to be around whether at a trial or obedience run-throughs and it always made my day to see Gretchen at an event - even in the pouring rain, her quick smile and upbeat attitude made it fun!

My condolences to Dan and the rest of her family.

Gretchen was one of my favorite relatives. We'd visit from time to time as second cousins during our childhood, and I have fond memories of fun times with her. We lost touch as life progressed. My sympathies to all the family at this time.

Words cannot say how sad and sorry I was to hear about Gretchen. We shared many agility and obedience classes, trials, successes, and crash and burns. Gretchen was such a special lady--always supportive, encouraging and helpful with a wonderful laugh and sense of humor. I will miss her. Dan, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gretchen was always upbeat and welcoming, when I was a newbie to agility, she always had a friendly smile for me. She will be very much missed at all our lab events.

Gretchen Dan and I worked many years ago here in Albany. She was a great friend and such a sweet honesty person. We had many laughs together.

Dan I am so sorry for your loss

As a colleague in the earth sciences, I am sorry to have shared so little time with Gretchen. Peace to Gretchen and all who feel the loss of her presence.

My condolences to Dan & Gretchen's Family. I was sorry to hear that Gretchen lost her fight to cancer. She will be missed at DES!

A friend more like a sister. Beloved owner along with Dan of 4 of my dogs. Words cannot express how I feel. Rest until we meet at the bridge with our 4 legged companions

To Dan and family, our sincerest condolances with regards to your loss. Joe and I will always remember Gretchen for her upbeat attitude and love of nature, family, friends and her canine family. Our thoughts are with you. Diane and Joe

Gretchen's was always a friendly face in the crowd. In spite of her many accomplishments in the dog competition world, she kept a humble perspective and a great sense of humor about the process. I will remember her kindness.
