I met Gwen through my son, Bobby, and her son, Tyler, when they were in elementary school. I have been blessed to know her. Gwen so loved her family and she would laugh as she would tell me stories and funny things they all did. She was very proud of Bill, Tyler, and Andrew and would light up when she talked about them. We lost touch over the years as our children went separate ways, but when we did talk, it was like no time had passed at all. I knew she was the type of friend who would always be there if I needed her no matter how much time had passed. I regret that we didn't get together all the times we said we would! I will miss her greatly. I pray that the loving arms of Jesus will wrap around her family as they go through this sad time. I pray for the Peace that passes all understanding for all her family and friends. The world lost a very special person.

I have known Gwen for many years. I remember her positive loving spirit the most. She was always such a joy to be around and was always so giving. She definitely made a mark on my life and in my heart at a time in my life when I was becoming a woman myself. We shared being the only girl in a family of boys and shared so many other feelings and thoughts from the heart. What a classy lady! She will be missed very much! I am sure she will make sure every woman in heaven has the best accessories!

Much love and sympathy to her family,

Mary Katherine

As a sister-in-law and as a friend for more than 44 years, Gwen was always there for me and especially for my children. I watched her grow from the awkward little sister her brothers lovingly called "Olive Oyl" -- to a beautiful woman, wife, mother and beloved "Aunt Gwen" to her many neices and nephews. Her radiant smile, ready laugh, warm hugs and heartfelt understanding will be missed by all of us. To have had her as my "sister" was a special blessing.

Gwen was such a dear friend to Jenni I feel like I know her even though we only met a few times over the last 35 years. We knew about Gwens family through Jenni and how much she treasured her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My dearest friend, Gwen, if you were still here, I would hug you a thousand times and tell you how much I love you and how much your friendship has meant to me for over 35 years. I am so thankful for the many times we were together, for all the times you made me laugh, for all we shared, and how sad I am that you left us so soon. May God always go with you, and may you rest in true peace. Love, your friend, Jenni
