My name is Melissa. I have created this Go Fund me page for my best friend for 52 years, Gretel Lutz. Many of you know Gretel. She is a good and kind person.

Today her oldest son Brian became an organ donor. His death was very sudden and unexpected. Brian was only 44 years old. He leaves behind a wife of 15 years and a 14 year old daughter. Unfortunately there wasn't any life insurance. Gretel flew to Texas and wants to have him cremated and bring him back home to Ohio.

Any donation to help with the costs of these arrangements would be greatly appreciated. Gretel has always helped anyone in need and now she needs us. My thoughts and prayers are with her and Brian's loved ones at this most difficult time. Thank you for your support.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
