Our prayers go out to Dr. Magee and Gwen Magee's entire family. She was a very warm, intelligent, creative and gifted lady. We shared many jokes and laughs with her about her not sharing/selling her beautiful quilts with us. May God rest her in His loving arms. We will miss you Gwen. Karen, Mark and Mark Edward Wilson, Jackson, Ms.

I was saddened to hear that Gwen was gone, but happy to know that when we see clouds forming great shapes and sunrises and sunsets in glorious colors that Gwen is still working on those quilts, just using different media.
Blessings to all of the Magees from one of the quartet of "first cousins", Myrt, Clinton "Brother", Frances and Jackie Jones.
Love to all of you from all of us.

I was saddened to learn from United States Artists about Gwen's untimely death, too soon. We served together on an award panel in L.A. after she got her honor from the organization. I thought she was a lovely, warm, good-humored person, and I hoped that we'd have a chance to meet again. I'm sorry that I've missed my chance, and I can only imagine how much harder it must be for her family. With all best wishes,
