I have so many fun memories of my friend Gretchen. For many years we shared good and bad while we were at the Cathedral. I was the secretary and Gretchen was the one who kept everyone straight. The one thing that is always in my mind is that if I ever said 'Oh my God' she would correct me with 'Gosh'. Thank you Gretchen for all you did for me the seventeen years I worked at the Cathedral. She always protected me from the drop-ins she thought shouldn't be bothering me, by saying I was very busy and they should call before coming. Gretchen was a fire cracker that you could not help but love. I will always remember you, my friend. God Bless Lou Andruzzi
