  3. I have so many precious memories of Gwen all the way back to when I was a toddler (we could get into some mischief). She and Gene were always so good to me and my family. They both embraced the theory “It takes a village to raise a child”. They were very supportive of me throughout my life and my husband, and daughter were lucky enough to benefit from their love as well. I will miss our shopping excursions, lunch and long telephone conversations. I respected and admired her immensely. Although we will miss her I am thankful she is no longer in pain and is with our heavenly father and family (my Mother is thrilled). Michelle, Todd and Andrew I love you!!!

  9. I have known Gwen since my brother married her sister Peggy. She was a precious person I have fond memories of our beach trips and just spending time together. We had chatted a few times in recent years and I know she was a Godly woman and is safe in the arms of Jesus. Prayers for the family
