As we grieve over the physical loss of our Beloved Gwendolyn, let's cherish the precious memories of her, knowing that she's adorned with an eternal spiritual robe given to her by Our Lord and Savior when He met her at the entrance to the Pearly Gates Of Heaven, with these words:"Welcome, good and faithful servant!"
