To the family and friends of Gwendolyn I would like to extend my deepest sympathy. God, who sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins is the God of all comfort who is ready and willing to comfort your hearts in your hour of bereavement. He says to cast your cares upon him for he cares for you. At this hour of your bereavement I pray that as a family you are able to rally together and support one another. May the love of God hold you close.
