Gwendolyn Marcum

John and Gwen were very instrumental in supporting my transition into Merrill College, at UC Santa Cruz. I was blessed to have developed a very deep friendship with her...

Thank you for the wonderful contribution you made to writers far and wide. I will never forget and will always treasure how you supported me in my journal as a writer. I can still see you working hard helping customers and putting on book events. Thank you forever for that. RIP my friend.

Oh, I don't know how I missed Gwen's death. I was so fond of her .. mostly from Capitola Book Cafe. My late husband built her (and John's) home and although we only met once at the time of that sale, she always remembered me. When my daughter stopped by one day to take some photos of the house, Gwen invited her in and brought out cheese and wine! I know she is greatly missed by so many. Sending love to her family!

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Gwen! Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and love at this time of sorrow. The Faulkner Families of Capitola, Pasadena and Long Beach, CA.
