I miss Gwen! She understood my sarcasm and sense of humor! She was such a fun person! I always preferred her to play piano for me when I sang in church... we shared a lot of the same memories of people from CCCU, especially Camp Meetings. Jim and Gwen always encouraged me in my Christian walk and later in my Ministry!
