I thank God for Ms Gwen. She was one of the best friends I ever had. It was always a joy to be around her, because she always loved to talk about the Lord. We both build each other's faith in God as we discussed all the things that God had done for us. She taught me how to make the best cornbread in the world of which I am for everything. I thought mine was good until I tried hers. I never really got to know her family, because I was usually working when I was at her house. Mrs. Gwen always seem to call right at the nick of time when she needed some work done and when I was out of work. All I have is wonderful memories of her and I hate that we had to lose her. Even though we will find each other again in heaven and she will be as healthy as a 30-year-old woman. Well I guess that's it for now. I will miss her so much and my wife will too. We love you Miss Gwen and we will see you soon, praise God.
