Gwen was my role model, my hero. She supported me and all my fears when I found out that I had Ovarian Cancer, Stage 3, with metastases on my liver, pancreas, colon and left hip. She led a support group that I attended for many years from 2005 to 200? When there was nowhere to hold a meeting, she would have it in her own home. She sat beside me at my first chemo and gave me strength. She followed my progress and listened to me and tried to answer all my questions. She directed me to the right resources and made me feel like a hero. Thank you Gwen. This cherished photo will always be on my fridge and you will always be in my heart.
