We were saddened to hear the news of Gwen's passing and thankful to have her as an aunt. If two words could describe her, they would be: "class" and "character".

I was sorry to hear about Aunt Gwen's passing. I fondly remember her and her Siamese cats when I was child. I wish that my children would have been able to know her also.

It is with regret that I receive the news of Gwen's death. She was a talented, beautiful person who enriched my life and that of my Uncle Eugene's in the latter years of their lives. I value having known her. She will be missed.
