My Condolences to the Family of Gwen Lee.

I recently found out Gwen had passed. Gwen and I worked together at the Dyson Board of Education, for many years. She was full of life and led an adventurous life of travel, entertainment, music and so much more. We also shared the same birth month and always said we were true Aries. Happy Heavenly birthday this month Gwen. Rest in peace.
