I think she truly loved him, and my prayers are with her. I know he loved her and having her with him for the last bit of his life made him happier and that is always good. Age is only a number. Losing a loved one is always hard regardless of the circumstances. I wish her all the best.
Rest in peace, Jeffrey.

I had just read this after watching him go into ICU and her going off to party on the river. Gross.

He “wasn’t her type” until she knew how wealthy he was. Sorry, won’t ever convince me it wasn’t all about the money. Every episode he was seen with her was when they wer out shopping for something for her after she dropped obvious hints. The poor man could barely walk and she drug him out to spend his money. Sad that he didn’t think more of himself than to settle for a goldigger simply because she is a beautiful woman. His arm candy wasn’t doing him any good when she was partying while he was on his last leg.

I think that when Gretchen went off to party on the river with her FAMILY it was fine…His children were at the hospital…and if any of you watched the show the kids said she deserved a break and took care of him 100% of the time. I’m sure that if anyone else was in her situation then you would have needed a break too….I know this is the internet but really she just lost her fiance maybe once just keep the witchyness to yourselves

seriously if i was in that position i would of wanted to go out and get my mind off of it all. taking care of someone with cancer is a heartbreaking thing, it takes alot of strength and love to do it. if she was a gold digger you really think she would be in the hospital 99.99% of the time no if she didnt love him she would of let him sit in threr himself, while she went out did she do that NOOOOOO she didnt. she loves that man and he needed that to keep him going. even his own kids said that they dont think he would of made it as long as he did without gretchen. so get realistic ASSHOLES. i am not a blogger but i truly feel for her i lost my grandmother to cancer and it is really hard to threw. so unless you been in her shoes dont call her a gold digger unless you walked a mile in them then shut your damn mouth. love you gretchen R.I.P Jeffrey Beitzel you will always be missed but never forgotten

When you truly love someone you never look at it as if it were exhausting or a sacrifice. You want to spend every waking moment caring for the person that you know you probably don’t have alot of time left with them. I know because my husband past on at 52 because of cancer and I slept in the hospital on a chair next to his bed for a month with maybe 3 hours of sleep a night. I would never change that time with him. I was married to him for 30 years so no ones going to tell me she really loved him.

real talk, if my dude was dying off of cancer, i would want to spend every day, time everything with that person! knowing they don’t have much time left. every breath taking minute, i would truly dearly stick with my dude… i’ve been in this position before when my cousin had cancer. so being with someone 24-7 is what you need to do to help them stay strong and positive… you don’t go out to bass lake and get drunk and act like a sluther… i felt as if she showed no remourse and when she got her ring in the mail, she was sooo happy actin’ like she’ll be able to marry dude when dude was facing his life… i think she was a gold digger… i just call it like how i see it. and yes, i heard his kids say gretchen helped out… but i really think she was there to keep him alive to spend his paper… am i wrong or am i right?

I live in orange county and know 2 people that know her and her ex husband. She cheated on her first husband with the old man. She is dating a guy named Jay for about 2 years. Meaning, she had been seeing Jay while with the old guy. She did makeout with Tamra’s son. She is the biggest opportunistic, self-serving, phony bitch.

she is a doll and the shining light on that show with a bunch of old hags that are so jealous of her and her life. She is single and ready to mingle let her be. last I heard she wasn’t married to anyone. Sluts like to have fun.
