I worked with Gwen for several years at Forest City. I wasn’t sure what to think of her at first. But the love and care she showed to her residents day in and day out showed me what a beautiful and kind heart she had. And her laugh! Best laugh I’ve ever heard and whenever I heard it my day would be made. To Gwen’s family and friends, I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m incredibly blessed to have known such a great person.
