I met Gwyn at Northeast Contemporary Services in October of 2016. She worked on the floor with the clients. I was a bus driver who picked up and dropped off the clients to work and then home. I met her in the break room. We got to talking and became friends. I'll cherish our time going out for coffee and going out to eat. Cahoot's Coffee and Starbucks where we would gather for java. Then I remember going out to eat at Perkin's, Mort's Deli, Crave. I am thankful for meeting and becoming her husband Lenny's friend too. I would see Gwen's kitty Keiko occasionally. I can't forget her doggy Scruffy. He loves unconditionally. Rest in paradise Gwyn!

Gwyn & I met 40 years ago waiting for the bus. We became "bus buddies " & fast friends all this time. I was glad to see her marry her fine fellow, Lenny. I was there cheering them on. I will greatly and always miss hrr
