I just learned of Gwen's passing today (my holiday card was returned undeliverable).
She was a long-time client of mine and I enjoyed our collaboration when I designed and renovated her apartment at The Top in Maplewood.
Gwen was a gentle, fragile person with a big heart and I'll miss catching up with her to say hello, or to hear of her adventures. May she rest in peace.
