Allen and Amy,
We have just learned of Gwen's passing and wanted to offer our sympathy. Our memories and those of our boys are filled with good times with you, Gwen and Amy. Travels to Illinois, bonfires and roast pigs blend with those of church, school and neighborhood adventures.
She was a blessing to many people and will be missed, but I don,t have to tell you that. I pray God will give you comfort and peace in spite of your loss.

Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you as you return Gwen to her family in heaven. We were blessed to have Gwen in our lives and her strength and faith have been an inspiration to us. Only being out of the country keeps us from being with you as you say goodbye.

We send our sincere and deepest condolences. I have always been inspired and edified by May Gwen's never ending love and dedication to family and friends. I know she suffered much and even in this she was an example of unfailing faith to many. Trusting in the promises of Christ of an eternal kingdom in Heaven, we know that her sufferings have ended and she enjoys the gift of eternal life with God.
