I want to thank each and everyone who posts on this site, it has been such wealth of information and with that, I was able to support my friend Gretchen in many ways I could not thought of. I did not post much but was here often researching any way I could. Her journey was short with rapid progression yet she pushed through each day. Diagnosed in May 2017, Gretchen passed away 5/6/18 at age 55. We laughed, we cried, we spoke of her true feelings as she battled though.

Be FREE my sweet friend, I will always miss you and never forget the life lessons you taught me through this unbelievable battle. Your courage will stay with me forever
