Anne and Bob Gudex join me in sending love and deepest admiration for Gretchen.
She is part of our childhood at Kuratau.
Bob taught her to drive ..but not in Buster's car.
And Gretchen assisted looking after the multitude of Gardner,Gudex, Harker and Sinclair children.
It has been wonderful to see her and Prue and Susan recently .
Arohanui to her wonderful family.

Gretchen's support over the years for Bobs made her warmly and deeply regarded by us all at Collins Group Wellington.

Our deepest most heartfelt sympathies to you all - Tony, Simon, Sam and Sarah. What a terribly difficult time for you.

On behalf of the staff and boys at Wellesley College, you are all in our thoughts and many current and past staff have fond memories of Gretchen as the most kind, hardworking and selfless person who gave her heart and soul to Wellesley whilst a parent and Board member here in the 1980s and 1990s.

Our most sincere thoughts are with you and may plenty of strength be alongside you going forward.
