Something started me thinking about Gretchen tonight, so I went back and read all of the posts. Christine, Langdon, Dave, Shawn, Gregg. I still don't have anything to say except that I am sorry. For all of us. And that I wish we had the chance to see her live up to all of her potential.

I still think of Gretchen often. In the past several years I have become close again with so many of my old friends and I like to think that she would have been among them. I had reconnected with her not long before she passed and would have loved to really rekindle that friendship. Still missing you, Gretchen.

I knew the time was coming 6 years and it still makes me said that she is not in the world anymore. TONI

I thought about her last night. I was driving and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" cycled in on my iPod. I just started thinking about her. Just like in life, she creeps up on you and somehow there she is, part of you forever. Filtering in and out of your memory at the oddest times.
I went home and Googled Michal. I translated a lovely tribute he had to her in an interview. Czech is a crazy language. No, no conspiracy, just love. I think what pains me the most is what you wrote here. Potential. She had so much potential. Smart, kind, funny, beautiful. So much potential. So much to miss. It is weird to think that it has been almost 17 years since I last saw her and over a third of that was time she existed only in countless people's memories.
People still read, Megan. People still remember.
