Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. May you find peace in knowing that Gwen fought a good fight, finished her course, kept the faith and now she is taking her rest. She will be missed because she loved everybody and everybody loved her. She was a shining star and lit up every room she entered. Take your rest my dear sister-friend, we will meet again on the other side.
