Gretchen you are awesome! I think that you should have your own reality show.

U Go Girl.....We see your true colors shining.... unlike someone that talks negative about you.. ugly ugly to the core they are..those who are jealous will try and put you down like they have never done things in there past .

Hey Gretchen!

I really do not care who you date. Just be true to you and give these other troublemakers a run for their money! Good luck!

gretchen,

i just watned to you to keep your head up, and to not worry about what anyone says about you.

The show wouldn't be as amazing without you! You are a beautiful person! Keep you head up! I am so excited for this season!!!!

I use to live in Dallas for 6 years and am proud that you still have roots there. I had to move back to Houston seeing that all my family lives down here.

Out of all the housewive's you seem like the one that I would contect with the most. You seem very real, despite what the others say. Personally, I think that they are jealous. I do not have many girlfriends due to that reason and that they will stap you in the back before you even turn around.

I just wanted to say that you are doing a wonderful job especially after all you have gone through. Just keep your chin up and don't let those other ladies get to you....are they really worth it? If they bring negativity to your life you don't need them. I am having to learn that myself. It will bring you happiness and a sense of freedom when you ge thtme out of your life.

Now back to the Texas Tech/OSU game.

Good luck and my God bless you in all that you do.

Glad you are on the show. You embrace life and all it has to offer. You have boundless energy and a trippy sense of humor. Stay the way you are and maintain your positive, strong attitude. Btw - hope you and Slade are still together and that you end up together for life.

Hi Gretchen,

First of all I want to start off by saying that you are absolutely beautiful inside and out. When Tamara or Vicki are disrespecting you, you show your true class. I am truly sorry for your loss although I am happy to see you are doing great! Take care Gretchen and please just know in your heart that you are a good person.

Hi Gretchen, I love your laugh:). You are such a bubbly person like me and I just think that some of the girls are just jealous because you are always happy and and not to mention a beautiful woman on the inside and outside. They absolutely dont know what you went through with Jeff. I think you handled yourself absolutely graciously. Keep it real girl. vera

ABOUT TIME you told Tamra to shut up! I would have said more, but good for you for having more self control! Keep your chin up, girl... OH, BTW, so sorry about Jeff...My deepest condolances to you and his children...

Gretchen,

There will always be people who try to bring you down, you have to move past them. You are a good person and no one knows the truly special relationship that you and Jeff shared. Let people think what they want, bottom line- Everyone makes mistakes, including all of your Orange County gals.

Tamra is just jealous, because you are young and beautiful... This why she try to damage your image all the time...

Hi Gretchen ,

Just wanted to say your so classy ,i was happy to see you stood up to Tamara way to go girl !!

Girl let me tell u I just adore u no matter what they say u are my favorite.I'm ready for the new season cant wait to u u.....

Gretchen,

I am glad you stood up for yourself, you know we all make mistakes and I just hate for people to judge with out really taking a closer look at what the hell is going on with you in your heart. People who judge you are those that don't have anything better to do in their lives or they are just frustrated and have to take it out on someone else. You know maybe Tamra is trying to hide something she did very wrong in her past and she is ashamed of it and well she just wants to nail you with it...........or maybe she never had the chance to enjoy her young years and hates you for having to much fun..............Keep moving forward and just letter talk her shit, pay back is a bitch and sooner or later it will come back and bite her in the ass just let God take care of it as long as you know you are sorry for what you have done only God can judge you............
I'll keep watching and cheering for you.........

; )

HOWDY GIRL!! JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU... I'M SO HAPPY U SHUT TAMRA UP. IT WAS ABOUT TIME. YOU JUST KEEP ON GOING, DON'T LET HER GET YOU DOWN. YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST IN THE SHOW BY FAR.

Gretchen,
You and Jeana are the best. You both have class, unlike some others. Viewers with brain power can see why the other housewives try to tear you down. They soooooo wish they were you. If I could do something for you, I would not allow you to be affected by their negativity. They must make it very difficult for you. Keep your chin up, and don't ever stoop to their level. You are better than that, and it's easy to see.
With my best,
E.M.B.

I think you are awesome. You are young and need not fret the B.S. you get from the others. Jealousy is an evil thing. There is class and tact and it is obvious the ones who claim to have it DON'T! Keep on keepin' on girl. We love you and your youthful spunk.

Keep on Keepin on Girl, there's always gonna be haters, be a lover!

You are definitely my favorite!!!! I think you are beautiful and a fun person!!! I do not like Vicki and Tamara ganging up on you. They must hate themselves a lot to treat somebody like they treat you. I believe they are jealous and caddy. Just keep on beening you and movin forward. Love you!!!!!

Gretchen, keep your chin up. You have true beauty, inside and out!

Seek Joy! Live life to the fullest!

Gretchen, I just adore you. You are young, beautiful, & full of life. We all make mistakes in our lives that we are not proud of but that is how we learn. Just remember that everybody has skeletons in their closet and the ones that are the most disrepectful are usually the ones that have some pretty bad ones. Life is too short to worry about the little people that have nothing better to do than to air out other peoples dirty laundry.. Keep your sweet little head up and don't put up with no one's s***.. If they are talking about you, then you most be pretty important, let them talk!!!! People are gonna believe what they want to anyways!

I think nobody but you guys know what your relationship was, nor will we ever. Any of us in a relationship know how much it is based on emotion, instead of analyzing events during it. Assuming everything bad everyone says about you is true (which we all know is ridiculous) You gave jeff an immortality pharaohs spent their entire lives working for, you should never doubt the gift you gave him. If that is not love and sacrifice, I do not know what is.

Gretchen I really do like you and hope you are telling the truth about how in love you are with Jeff. You seem to have a very kind and loving heart. I am overweight and wish you could do some type of video on how to keep your shape as well as your make up and skin care advice.

Gretchen,

You are young,beautiful and very wise! This is why people (women) don't like you ...alot of jealousy going on. This is the reason to keep your head high and continue your smile. You have alot going for you and I wish you much success. I am glad to see the pictures of Jeff and you. I lost my sister to cancer a year and a half ago but it seems like yesterday. I was at her bedside for 3 months day and night. She went from cleaning her yard to loosing her hair within months. It was the hardest thing I had to ever go through in life is to watch my sister die. I know how hard it was to see you see Jeff day in and day out in his condition. Of course theres alot we didn't see but I know you went through alot. Again I wish you well and continue to be strong!

Gretchen... Keep enjoying life (with care).. Tamara is evidently extremely miserable in her own life. Seeing someone actually 'enjoying' life can be tough for some. You are what you see.. most people can't say that, especially in OC.. You make Texas proud!!!

Gretchen: I think you have a loving heart, but you have made some mistakes that hopefully will not be repeated. Don't ever let anyone take photos of you that you would not be willing to let your parents or your pastor see! Even if you think they are private, eventually they will be leaked! Keep your head high with Tamara and don't stoop to her level. I think she has some serious personal issues going on now, and as women, we don't want to wish those issues on ANYONE, even people who disrespect us! Stay fun and cheerful and be a good friend!

I honestly think Tamara wishes she was you.

Gretchen,

Im very sorry about the loss of your fiance Jeff and it must be very hard for you to try and get through all this, if I were in your shoes right now I would be feeling the same way your feeling. I know you must feel horrible about those pictures people have put up on the internet and Im sure your very sorry about it and I hope people arent making you feel bad about it, you have too much in your life too worry about it seems like and Im sure these fights your having with Tamra isnt making anything better, I really wish she would just keep her mouth shut and move on with her life but seems like she cant let it go, shes just jealous that your a very pretty young lady and your the best flrit there is! But the thing for you to do is, is just ignore her and worry about other problems than having to deal with her. Your still very young and you want to have some fun in your life so I dont blame you with some of the things you did because I know all you wanna do is just have fun and I dont blame you on that. But anyways love the show! Cant wait will more episodes come out!

Gretchen, I'm sorry for your loss. No one will ever be able to understand fully the essence of your relationship with Jeff and therefore you shouldn,t try to explain it. I love the way you present yourself and hope you don't allow anyone to steal your glow. Keep your head up.

Gretchen, I think you are absolutely gorgeous -- inside and out. You can definitely see through previously footage of you with Jeff that you loved him. You can still see this through footage that shows you talking about and remembering him. I'm sure you were in a dark place after his death and made poor decisions (as seen on the internet). At least you are willing to to say hey, yes I did make some poor decisions and yes I regret them, but I'm trying to pick up the pieces of my life and move on. I'm sure it's made harder by people who won't let you forget your mistakes, so surround yourself by people who believe in you and who are positive influences. I wouldn't have pegged you with Slade, but he seems to be making you happy right now. Have some fun and try not to get too serious -- take some time to just have fun and to finish healing.

Gretchen, I must say your a very strong and wonderful lady...Keep your head up and live life....

Gretchen,

Good Morning! I just wanted to take a minute and write on your blog and let you know that you are a very classy woman and whatever you do don't ever let others bring you down. I'm sure you don't have to be a genius to realize that Tamra is so totally jealous of you. I have seen you in person before at the Indy 500 and I have seen how Jeff looked at you. That man truly loved and cared deeply about you and even though you can't see him he'll always be looking over you!!!! Please keep in touch and keep your head high!!!!!!

Hi Gretchen: I think you have so much going on for yourself, but it's time to be the "bigger" person and not let Tamara's insecurities infect you further. As difficult as it may be, don't respond to the barbs she tosses. Though not easy, try to maintain a "professional" relationship with Tamara, and at the end of the day, you won't have to even think about her. You have to make better choices though about your personal life and even though you can't control people posting pictures and stories about you, you CAN avoid giving them ammo! Good luck and keep your head held high!

GRETCHEN-
Where to begin. I am your bigest fan. I just commented Tamara's blog with my view on her behalf, but that is a different story. Put simply, you are eveyrthing she wishes she was. You are truley beautiful and some just can't accept that others are betther then them, and Tamara is one of those. I hope you life your life not letting anything that has been said about you affect you. The tact it took to not attack Tamara at dinner when she insulted you shows your true, graceful character. Keep doing whatever your doing because its pissing Tamara off and thats what i love. But i love u!! Your so so soooo beautiful and i hope ur having fun wiht life. THats what its about. Live it up. F TAMARA. your beautiful and young. She isn;t and never will be. LOVE YOU. Your my inspiration at the gym

Gretchen,
Your 24yo and have alot to live & learn, I can't count the stupid things I did at your age. I feel you are honest as honest can. On the other hand, Vicki amd Tamara need to think about "throwing stones from a glass house". Chin up & bless you. Time is on your side.

You are young and having fun, and I live in OC as well I know how rude it is that people send in pics to the Dirty.com and you have no control over. I am sorry that pictures that at the time you don't think ppl would be crule enough to send them in and made there way on the site. You are a wonderful person.

Gretchen- There is no reason for you to react to Tamara who has decided to vent her serious "daddy issues" by blaming you somehow for her dad leaving her mom. YOU really have nothing to do with her anger.

You go girl!!!! Don't let those nasty chicks get the better of you!! You seem sweet and charming!!

Gretchen,
I just want to say I think you rock, and I absolutely love your personality! I felt so bad when I heard about Jeff, it's good to see that you are doing ok after all of that. I can tell that you miss him a lot, and I feel for you. I think you are such a strong person, and I admire you for staying so strong through this awful time. I can't wait to see the rest of the season! Stay strong! :)

I LOVE YOU!!! I am sorry for the loss of Jeff but I am so glad to see you with Slade. I think you would be a blast to hang out with... Peace...

Hi Gertchen, The only way to get even with Tamara - is to date her husband...... Now that Tamara has some marital problem, I am sure you can move in on him...... On a personal note, I think you are terrific. Whatever you do in your life, is it your personal choice. Tamara is a very jelous person. She needs to talk to somebody ASAP. You - keep being the way you are. Also, so sorry about Jeff. Please keep living !!!! This is from a 60 years old Jewish happily married house wife and a mother of two wonderful kids.

I love to hate Slade. Really, all kidding aside, I think you 2 will have a lot of fun together. He seems like a fun guy. I watched the whole Slade & Jo thing and they just weren't right for each other. Many times I felt sorry for Slade because it was so apparent Jo wanted other things out of life than he did. I am glad to see you 2 having fun and I think he will really help you thru the crap you're having to endure with Tamra & Vicki (the MEAN GIRLS). Good luck honey and hang in there. BTW, I never doubted your feelings for Jeff and I am VERY sorry for your loss. Love to you!

Tamara,
Sometimes people are unhappy with themselves that they have to put down others to make themselves feel better. Who cares what they think. I think you and slate look great together!

Gretchen!! I hope all is well with u!! U are truely my FAVORITE Housewife!!!!!!!

I was so against Gretchen at first. I was screaming to the world what a horrible person she was. But I have completely changed my opinion. I think that Gretchen is the most genuine of all. I have watched how terrible Tamra and Vicki have been and are again this season. I say, "Kick their asses, Gretchen!" I am in your corner all the way. :)

Gretchen you are my favorite housewife. Stay strong and nevermind the haters. There's a saying, "if you have haters, you must be doing something right". You are drop dead gorgeous and smart. Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you find happiness with Slade.

Carolina
:)

I truly find it hard to believe that you really loved Jeff! You really loved the money. I am embarrassed for your parents and family. You may have the looks but you are trashy. I'm still not quite sure why you are on the show.....you aren't even a housewife!

Gretchen-
You are awesome! I think you are beautiful inside & out. I just watched the season premiere & I can NOT stand Tamra. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl. She is just insanely jealous of you. She looks like a washed up hag. I do not know how you do it, even being around her makes MY skin crawl. Do not ever forgive her, she is a venomous cobra!
Keep up the good work and just be yourself & don't lower yourself to her tactics! Take the high road.

Love ya, girl!
Debra

Hi Gretchen,,

I'm so sorry for you lost, things will get better for you as time goes by,

I think Slade is a Handsome man you are lucky to have someone like him in your life to help you cope with everything.

I really hope you and Tamra can patch things up.

Have a great Season.

Daniela of San Jose, CA

Gretchen,

I just wanted to say that during the premier when you were at the beach missing Jeff, I had to cry also as I miss my father that I lost recently. It is really hard and no one knows what that is like. Tamara is a very jealous, insecure person and if your own Daddy doesn't really want you, then who can you expect would. Her son is going to jail and her husband hates her. Of course, the pretty, younger woman is going to be an ultra threat to her. Why she and Vicki spend so much time gossiping and worrying about what you do only solidifies the fact that they are super jealous. Hope your life gets better!!!

Vicki and that horrible Tamra are two of the most un-classy, jealous, old, not happy women ever! Keep being you in all your beauty and charisma! Show those broads who the hottest housewife is and laugh all the way home!

Dear Gretchen,

Sorry for loss. Im 33 dating a 44 yr young man. Im a breast cancer surivior he loves me and i love him, please ignor Tamara! she is afraid of you You are awesome person

First off-- like Gretchen has said, not many people could possibly understand the heartache she endured when she lost Jeff. And hopefully, for most of us we will not have to deal with that at such a young age and in the eye of the public. Gretchen, you are a beautiful woman and deserve to do the things that make you happy. I loved the first episode tonight and think it was about time that you put Tamara in her place! She is definatly not the hottest housewife anymore! You only live once and Jeff would want you to be happy, I say to forget about those who scruntinize and move on with your life! Everyone deserves to be happy and I love that you are working towards that again! You are absolutely adorable and i love watching you on the show!
Waiting for the rest of the season!

Hello Gretchen, You are a wonderful women. Who cares what everybody says.Tamara needs to find something else to do in her life then worry about your life. You are not a Orange County whore.I don't know why she is on this show. Keep up the good work. Love you and Gina.Bless you.

sorry gretchen but will you not put my last msg up there it was really just for yu please and thank yu!

Gretchen rise above all that drama. You are so much better than that. You, Jeana and Lynne are the only ones that act like ladies on the show. Tamra isn't even worth your words. I'm so sorry for your loss and can't imagine what your going through but keep your head up and stay sweet:)

honey,
life's too short and too precious. if i were you, i'd move to the farthest corner of the world, continue my business and accept some of these other women for what they are.. absolutely ignorant. i can understand that it's hard to get out from under the light you've been in for oh so long, but real life is still around the corner and it's waiting for you to step back into it. it misses you..

It's so funny to read your haters' comments on here and yelling at Bravo as if they have some ploy to hide bad comments about you. Wow. People are pathetic and desperate these days, not to mention jealous. We love you Gretchen. Everyone has fun while they're young and everybody makes mistakes. Keep your head up and just laugh at all the losers trying to bring you down.

Hey Gretchen!
I saw that you went to Baylor and I am currently attending Baylor. What residence hall did you live in? I'm a Collins girl, were you one too?

I don't like that people are so harsh with you. It's not like all the other "Housewives" on your shows or elsewhere in America have actually "earned" their ways into their mansions and upper crust lifestyles. I believe that you loved Jeff and even if he gave you money to be by him during his last days so what. That would still make you a descent person in my books because you gave a bit of life back to a dying man.

No one is in a relationship and doesn't expect to receive any rewards from the relationship. People always expect to get something from someone else. Whether it sex, love approval, money or companionship it doesn't matter. People are double talking.

Hi Gretchen,

I think you are very beautiful, positive and energetic. I like Slade for you, he is handsome. I am sorry about Jeff...but life goes on. I hope he leaves money to you...you deserve.

Keep up the good work!!!

It's pretty clear that only "good" things can be posted here. I thought things looked fishy when I first read through it. If you are going to have a blog to tell "your side of the story", you need to be accept "the other side" that doesn't agree with you or like you. In fact, I know many people think you are a gold digging whore and I know they are right. Deep in your heart, you know it too. It's okay to admit, it's the "Im so innocent" act that really pisses people off.

This show is as fake as your face: have you done a good google search lately. Post some of the REAL comments made to you, not just the ones praising you.

Hey Gretchen

I like the way your personality clashes with the other housewives. you seemed happy and positive all the time. I so sorry about jeff. please i heard that you and slade were going together. You make a great couple. I'm glad he got over Jo he deserves to be happy. Jo is too busy with her "music career" yeah right! what career? hope to see you on the next season with slade by your side.

Hi Gretchen,

I just saw a re-run of the reunion show (season 4) with my husband (he usually never watches the show). We both could not believe how mean and cruel Tamara and Vicki were to you. My husband said that both ladies are jealous because they were so mean to you. I agree. After watching season 4, although Vicki and Tamara were trying to make you look bad, they are the ones that showed their true colors. Vicki thinks way too much of herself, as does Tamara. I think you are beautiful, smart and genuinely nice. You never say anything mean about anyone and you treat everyone fairly. I can't wait for season 5 to begin! Take care!

Love ya girl!! Your great! Email me, it would just make my day! I have so much to tell you about my situations, which are very similiar to yours, but i dont want to write it on the blog, somethings are just to personal!!

Gretchen! I think you are an amazing girl, your defintaly the HOTTEST housewife out there, lol, sorry Tamra but its true!! You seem like such a loving,caring person, dont let it get to you with what people say, some people just like to put other people down to make themselves feel good, which in my mind is just stupid! I think you are great, and i am so so sorry about your loss, but at least you made him happy in the last few months he had, you made a big difference in Jeffs life, i know i am only a watcher of the show, but i can tell how much you loved him, and how he loved you!! Anyways, i'd love to meet you one day, who knows how, but really hun you are just one amazing girl, you will get through this hard time, it will take awhile but you can do it!! Jeff would want you to be happy!! Keep strong, and remember he will always be watching over you, wanting you to be strong and happy!! I think me and you would be great friends if we ever met!! haha, i make my husband watch the show with me alot, and he always comments on how we have the same personalities!! You're awesome, and i hope you know it! Those girls you hang out with on the show seem pretty mean at times, especially a few of them!! Just remember who you are and what you believe in and dont ever let anyone ever get you down! ..Ok, maybe you will write back, or maybe not, but i hope so! Good luck with everything! You can do it hun, just believe in yourself, and remember lifes to short to care about what other people think!!

Gretchen I felt so sorry for you when soem of the other house wives especially Vicky and Tamra started sayin mean things about you, but after seeing the last get together and listening to the story that Tamra told about J and seeing your facial reaction I must say I seems like you were really having a relationship with this J guy.Your facial expression just seems like that of a guilty person that is just trying their best to hide the truth.

My hat goes off to you for all the dedication and devotion you had for Jeff during his time if illness. we all may mistakes but at the same time we need to own up to them. Given what you were going through it would be natural for you to trun to someone for comfort and if that person was J then you could have just said so but not telling the truth just makes it seem like you have so much more to hide than just the relationship between you and J.

Hey Gretchen, My name is Shelly I live in Clinton, Ms and I want you to know that when I was 23yrs old I dated A 65YR old and everyone called me a gold digger and at first thats really what that is what that was about. But over time I really developed feelings for him I had 2 kids at the time and he took great care of them. I did cheat on the side but I really did love hin I know people cant understand that but owell. I want you to know that Tamera Barney is so jealous of you she cant stand it. She cant stand the fact that you are beautiful and you have a cheerful attitude. You handled yourself well when it came to her andher old side kick Vicky. You are the hottest house wife in the O.C. and I love your hair its so pretty. So just remember we are all rooting for you. IM sorry about Jeff but im glad your moving on and not becoming overly depressed. your biggest friend Shelly

Gretchen,

My husband had an accident and has been very ill for the past 15 years and I am 44 years old. I know your pain and your strength! The reason Tamra and Vicki can't believe you is that they are too selfish to ever put themselves in a position to care for the well being of someone else over themselves. I see your heart and your light shines through. You are both beautiful inside and out. You deserve happiness and fun in your life and I am so happy to watch you on this journey!!!

Gretchen..

I truly think you are a great person deep down inside, despite what all the other girls think of you..I would like to send my deepest sympathy to you for the loss of Jeff. I know you weren't just making the whole thing up..You really did care about that man and i don't think everybody would be able to go thru something like that in their life. You are a very strong woman and i love waching you. I think that we're s alike, it's like you don't care what anyone thinks, you just do it because it's who you are..Don't worrie about Tamra And Vickie, all they think about is their selves and no one can ever be better than them..I have never seen any 2 people like that before in my life, they are just so selfish and i can't stand them.. I love The Real Housewives and you really made this show AMAZING.. So take care and keep your head up and show em what you got..xoox

Gretchen,

You are a beautiful young lady. Your laugh is infectious!. I can't believe how mean they were to you on the show. It is clear they are so jealous of your youth, strength and beauty. Keep kind in your heart and don't let them hurt you. A lot of us see you as you are.

I wish you nothing but love and true friends and a wonderful life.

Gretchen,
I currently date an older guy. I'm 24 and he's 37. I was in your situation where at first I wasn't interested, the age, already had children, past relationships, but we can't control who we fall for. We've been together for 5 years and have always been met with judgmental people who can't get passed the age thing. They are always hypocrites, they are always judgmental, and they always lack the intellect to understand and accept. I can only imagine how hard it can be when money is involved and when we only focus on the superficial.

You seem to keep yourself under control even when people hold honest mistakes against you. It's hard when you've moved on and no one else has. I suppose being on housewives is a lot like a job and this is just a case of office politics. Tamra - has the potential to be a great person but has a case of foot in mouth disease and is vindictive, some people can't live without drama and will create it. Vicki is so insecure it isn't even funny and is completely blind to her own faults, she may have strong opinions but that doesn't mean she's smart and being the loudest in the room doesn't make her right. Both these people will never realize their mistakes until they seek the help needed.

Good luck and I am deeply sorry for your loss. If I lost my "old man" I would be losing a part of my soul and you never get that back. Be strong and learn from every adventure you have! :)

Chantelle

I thought that you were strong under very difficilt conditions. I know how hard it is to lose someone and it could not have been easty being such a public person in your time of gried.

I was impressed that you put your life on hold to care for Jeff not knowing if you would get anything from him when he passed. I agree with you, a hospital is not a place to get married.

I don't think you were a good digger at all, just someone misunderstood by the other ladies on the show for the most part. If the rolls had been reversed no one would have made any comments.

I think you are a very strong woman going through a difficult time.

Take care of yourself and take the time to grieve for Jeff.

Kind regards,
Irene

Hi Gretchen
I just seen the reunion show. I missed it the first time it aired but I just wanted to say as I have sat and watched all the episodes it is very clear that Tamara and Vicki are very very envious of you. ( Your a better women then I am. I think I would have smoked Tamara one) You handled yourself very classy at the reunion show. While Tamra let her true colors show (alot of ugliness-wow) It is like you said that you just have to be yourself and eventually everyone is seen for their true colors. I think you are very beautiful, you have a great enthusiastic personality and one of the best laughs I have ever heard. To tell you the truth I liked the show before Tamara came on. Cause the show is getting kind of old at how mean and low she will go to hurt you.
P.S To bravo- I would love to see Tammy and Laurie back on the show and get Tamara off- The shows were better.

Dear Gretchen,
We just watched the reunion show and we were disgusted by Tamra's treatment of you, it was inexcusable for her to attack you in such a vicious way. You handled the situation with such grace, you are an example to be admired. Hope you stay with the show and not let the catiness drive you away. Wishing you happiness in all you do.

Gretchen

I am sorry about your loss. I knew from watching the show that you truly loved and adored Jeff and were there 100% for him during his time. You will find peace after a time but take the time to heal and refuel your mind and spirit.

Look forward to seeing you on the upcoming season as you are my favourite and I love to see the energy that you bring to the show.

Keep up the good work.

Gretchen.
Sorry for your loss. You are a very strong and giving person. The other housewives are just jealous of your beauty and charms. Did you see how what's her face was showing her Rolex to upstage you? Pathetic! You go girl!

I have a question for you...where do you buy your clothes? You (all) wear the most brilliant tops I've ever seen and I can't find them ANYWHERE...!

Hey Gretchen,

I am so sorry for your lost.... I have been watching this show since you came on and i Loved you since the day you aired you have a Free Sprit and i like that about you.
Don't let people judge you for you relationship with Jeff i think that LOVE has not age limit as long as those two people LOVE each other who cares the age difference.

And from talking from experience don't let people just how long you should wait to move on to a new Love and relationship as I was greatly judge for that when my fiance at that time committed suicide and i was judge on how quickly after that tragic loss that i did find Love again and not have been with that person for 12yrs and have 2 wonderful children.
People will judge and talk behind you back but DON'T let that get you down just stand tall and if they really want the WHOLE TRUTH tell them to sit and talk with you before they judge and you will be Amazed and there judgment after that.

Hang in there and life will get easier One day at a time.

Hopefully we will see you on the next Season.

I think your a pretty girl keep going what your doing. Don't let no body get you down the other housewives were hating on you because your the cutest out of all of them. Get It Girl!!!!!!!

Gretchen.....opinions are like...well you know what they say. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones and judge you if they aren't able to walk in your shoes. You have such a free spirit about you - you are young and attract a great deal of attention and Vicki and Tammy need to get past their insecurities and be greatful for what they have and stop being so jealous of you! As awkward as your relationship with Jeff may seem, you only have to worry about how you feel and how Jeff felt about you....nothing else really matters! I am so happy to hear that you are getting through this with a positive outlook. I know Jeff would want you to be nothing but happy and I truly hope you can find that happiness again very soon! I can't wait for the next season to start and I hope that you put everyone in their place and show them what a being a "true housewife" is all about! Take care!

Gretchen!

I've been meaning to post this on your blog for months, so here I am finally doing it!

1. I am so sorry for your loss.

2. You are an inspiration to people trying to get through hard times. Your positive attitude is truly infectious (even though it's just through the tv)

3. Remember that for every critic, you have at least 2 people who LOVE you (like me!)

That's basically it...I just wanted to brighten your day, so I hope this does it!

LOVE!

Hi Gretchen,

Hope you are doing well. You are my favorite Housewife out of all the Housewive Shows!! You are beautiful and you have the best sense of humor. Keep on keeping it real and to all the haters, they are just jealous. I hope to see you on next season's OC Housewives!! Love Ya!!

I just felt horrible about Jeff and believe me I knew what you were living through on the show too. I lost my husband to a quadruple bypass and his kids from the first marriage were absolutely horrible to me. They thought that I caused his heart attacks. I stood my own ground with no help from a lawyer or anyone and went to court and won everything that was rightfully ours. The trailer, the car, the house and all the insides of the trailer and the house. I knew your situation was so real when I saw it on the screen. I am always praying for people in tough situations. You are always thought of each and every day. I am living for myself these days.

The HGTV show was from 2007.

I just saw Gretchen and Jeff on a landscaping show on HGTV....Jeff sure didn't look very sick to me...They were getting a backyard make-over...What's up with that?...
