I am proud to call Gwen my friend. As a fellow REALTOR with her at RE/MAX Realty Associates for many years, I can say her sunny disposition and smiling face would make your day if you were feeling down. We will miss our Mrs. Claus. My condolences to her family.

When Gwen walked into a room, it lit up. She had a twinkle in her eyes that immediately drew a person to her. She was so loving and kind. Her sense of humor was unmatched. Gwen was a beautiful soul and we were so blessed to have her in our lives. May God comfort you, her wonderful family, during this difficult time and may the lifetime of happy memories that you shared sustain you. We know that Gwen's Irish eyes are smiling down on all of you.
