wen was always busy at RNC. Sonny, Gwen, my daughter, Andrea and I decorated the Christmas tree at the back entrance. In our 19 years of serving communion, we always made sure that she was part of the service. She was a good Methodist. Andrea loved to visit Gwen. She will be missed.

Gwen was one of my favorite ladies ever! She was so smart and informative about many things and she would do anything for a friend! Amy, Emily, and Donnie, and your family are going to miss her, as am I! RIP Gren! Kisses and Hugs. I'll see you in Heaven, Gwen!

Gwen was one of my favorite people ever. I met her when we worked at the Journal Clerk's office. She was always informative about life and being a great family person! I had lost contact with her in the last year, but she was always in my thoughts. RIP Gwen! Kisses and Hugs! Kitty Challstrom

We had the honor of living across the street from Sonny and Gwen for many, many years. They were both so loving and helpful to all of us and we will never forget them. I will never forget how caring Gwen was to my Mother when she lived at the Retirement and Nursing Center. Mom so enjoyed her visits. Our prayers and condolences go out to her family and friends.

To honor such a wonderful former mother-in-law who always lovingly treated me a close member of the family, I am sending a contribution to the Alzheimer's Association in Gwen's memory.
