Yes, Gertrude loved Ophelia dearly. Her first words to Ophelia are "And Ophelia I do wish your good beauties be the happy cause of Hamlet's wildness. So shall I hope that your virtues may bring him to his wonted way again to both your honours." This is a kindly speech, commending Ophelia not only for her beauty but also for her virtue. Her hope is that Ophelia's influence could temper Hamlet's wild behaviour. In this we hear a gentle foreshadowing of Gertrude's grief-stricken "I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet's wife".
Most telling of all is the way she tells the story of Ophelia's death. She is not content with a bald report of her drowning but fills it with sad detail. In the end, however, she can say nothing but "Drowned, drowned."
