Dear family it was with great sadness I received the message of the passing of your dear, precious, loving mother. She and I had some very special times together. I was looking forward to more when she discovered she had become too ill to even enjoy life. Her personality and kindness to me will always be remembered. I loved her instantly from the very first day I met her at Aunt Nita’s home in the 60’s and on occasions throughout our life. She loved and appreciated life and relationships. Such a beautiful spirit in her tiny little body. I’ll always love and miss her bright eyes, smile and kind expressions.
May all of you hold on to your wonderful, precious memories of her, I’m sure you have many. To be at peace knowing she is in heaven and free of the pain in her body, getting a much deserved rest from physical life is a relief. She lives still in spirit and I love that.
Rest in peace dear, sweet Gwen.
I will miss Gwen so very much. I love you sweet sister in law. I know your no longer in pain and your reunion with Robert(Con) was a joyous one as you crossed through the veil.
How brief life’s journey, but the memories shared with others remain endless…Thank you Aunt Gwen for the memories and the comforting words you shared with me when my mother was in the hospital a few years ago… Love, Curtis LeMay
To All of Aunt Gwen's family: We want you to know we're sending love, prayers, and blessings to you at this difficult time! May God's love surround and comfort you. She was truly a sweetheart and has touched so many lives. She has left us with sweet memories and positive legacy.
Love, The Wollschlegers
Sending all my love to Gwen's family. As her younger sister I got to baby sit Ray, Gary and Wendy. Gwen was always such a sweet and loving sister. Over the years we had wonderful talks on the phone and some really great visits. She will always be such a wonderful memory as I reflect my childhood. All my love dear sister Gwen. Carol
