To all the Johannesen and Welstead familes, our sincerest condolences. We will always have wonderful memories of Thanksgivings, Christmases, Births and Birthdays, and Fourth of July's with Gretchen and Jere. May loving thoughts of family embrace you in this time of loss and bring you comfort. Gretchen was a loving Mother and Grandmother to us all. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Love to all: Jon, Karin, Karlan Welstead, Nick and Krysney Christopher.

Gretchen was a very unique person. Brad, I still have nothing but great memories of all our homerooms together over the years. My mother and Gretchen had a very special bond. Enjoy all the recollections you will undoubtedly have for many years to come. Remain strong in the faith we learned together at Salem. Glad to know I have another angel on my shoulders. Much love and respect-Gregg Kupfer
