Not sure what to say?

Gwenie, I will miss our catch-up phone chats and your sense of positivity. And as I reminded you before, I'll always remember you ordering a "Green River" at the Thrifty's soda fountain when I was 8 and you were 18. I thought you were sooo grown up! So of course, I had to try one too! I pray you are reunited with Larry and are at peace. Love you much, Cousin Pam

I will miss you greatly my dear friend . Always enjoyed our visits and having conversation and big laughs. You and Larry rest in peace. Love Marga .

As Gwen's last surviving uncle, I am truly saddened at her recent passing and pray that she is now with her loving husband Larry, in the realm of peace. Our family thanks those who knew and cared about her over the years.

I was so sad to hear of my sweet friends passing. Gwen and I met at North Pacific Insurance. I recruited her to join Toastmasters. We had some great lunches at Nordstrom Cafe after retiring. It was so good to connect back with her. We also had some great morning walks. She will be missed. My condolences to the family.
