It saddens me to know that Gwen is gone.She had a love for life and the energy of 20 people. I have had the pleasure of knowing her and seeing her several times a week as our volunteer at Santa Teresa Hospital for @ least 20 of the last 30 years I have been there. She was so positive, always smiling. She loved to pass along a good joke. Gwen was a true inspiration to us all and will be greatly missed.

My grandmother, Gwen, was the world's most selfless person to EVERYONE. She was the best! She always treated EVERYONE with love. She would do anything for the people she loved!
