Oh Gwen the long chats for hours at the nursing home, the kindness you gave me leaving earlier than normal to give me a ride to so I didn't have to walk at 3 am to work. You were a friend and trusted confidant and like family to me. I will miss your rants on Facebook when the Steelers were not doing well. Rest easy now and forever. Prayers for your family during this time and trying to figure out how to survive without you. Thanks for always being there to listen without judgements.
