My deepest sympathy to Mike, Joanna and Corina on the loss of Gwen. She had a special place in my family as the oldest cousin on my mother's side (the Dwyers) and it was always lovely to see her at family events. I know we are all saddened by her loss.

I have wonderful memories of Gwen. She enjoyed life and made others around her celebrate with her. She was easy to laugh, kind and funny. She made my life better for knowing her and being in her company, and she did that for so many of us! Gwen, you are missed so much!
