Everyone who new Gret, was blessed! I know I was. I met Gret in the early 70's through her son Chris. My son, Anthony (Tony) Paez and Chris attended school together. So THANK YOU Chris for introducing me to a wonderful Lady and a true friend, your mother. We shared some great weekends together - Gretchen, Chris my son and myself. On Fridays we ate at the restaurant on Roosevelt and Austin. Sundays we ate pasta of which Gret made an awesome sauce. You know she did Chris!! I could go on and on however, I will always cherish those memories.

Chris, I just wish that your Mom would have enjoyed herself more on her last trip here in Las Vegas.

Always remember Chris, your Mom loved you with all of her being. You were her life---know that and cherish that in your heart forever.

I regret that I will not be there physically today or tomorrow - I will certainly be there is spirit. I love you Chris! Love to your family also!
