Gretchen Marie Naugle is force of nature that permeates through the fabric of everything I - and my family - know, and I don’t know how to do this without her.
Natalia wrote the following poem for Gretchen and read it to her on her last birthday, November 23 2023.

A beautiful short film of Gretchen Naugle. She was the sweetest daughter, sister, wife, and mother we could have ever been given.
Today, 12/18/23, would have been our 24th anniversary.
Gretchen absolutely without hesitation loved Valentine's Day. It was her excuse every year to go out of her way to show our daughters how much they were loved.
Gretchen was an amazing encourager to everyone lucky enough to know her. She always filled me with hope for the future. She passed 6 months ago, and she still encourages me.

23 years ago, January 6, 2001 became the most joyful and soul wrenching day of my life.
Christmas Eve 2023 carries an unbearable weight of longing as we celebrate Christ’s birth and all that it promises.
