My cousin, Gwendolyn, was a sweet lady with always a smile on her face. My earliest recollection of her was when I was about 7 years old and she was a teenager ice skating at Will Rogers. I was completely awestruck----I had never seen anyone ice skate--I extend my sincerest condolences to the family.
