Dear Seagroves Family, I will forever miss Gwen. She was a special friend, colleague and boss. She gave all she had to all of us and to the families and children she worked with over the years. She often shared her stories and love for all of you. I feel privileged and grateful to have had her in my life.
To the family, Gwen was a special person. I enjoyed working with her for so many years here in Region 4 Seattle. I know she is now in a better place where she no longer has to suffer. May God continue to bless your family as we keep them in our prayers.

Dear Gwen
I greatly miss you but I know that you are at peace with the Lord by your side. Bunco will never be the same without you.
Dearest Gwen, I was checking my facebook today and recieved a friend request from you, your face lite up on your page. Although I have known you for a short while, I thank God for allowing that to happen. I admired you lady and your excellent fishing techniques. I know that you are at peace with MY FATHER GOD your life here is done, but your life has just begun.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Gwen in the Kent office. Gwen had a smile that made me always welcome…Gwen always talked of her family….God Bless.
My deepest sympathies go out to Gwen’s family. Gwen was a sweetheart and I always enjoyed playing Bunco with her. The last time Gwen hosted bunco, she was such a gracious host and she served some of the best food that I have ever eaten. Bunco will not be the same with out Gwen. She will sorely be missed.
Drew,
We never had the opportunity to meet your Mom. You talked about her often. I could tell you loved her very much and will miss her alot. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Cliff and Drew. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Cliff and Drew,
I am so sorry this has happened to your family. I know how difficult this has been for you – our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family members during this difficult time.
Good Afternoon to the Family of Gwen Seagroves:
My thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your loved one. I had the opportunity to work with Gwen in Region 4, DCFS. When I met her, I knew at once she had a passion for the work that we do, caring for the children. Her commitment and dedication never wavered, and I am glad that I met and worked with her. I know that you will miss her, but I also know that she left her mark on many families in this state, and of that you should be proud.
Carol B. Felton
Former Region 4 Administrator, DCFS
I worked with Gwen in the Kent Children’s Services office and kept in touch after she moved on. I enjoyed Gwen’s view of our work and also appreciated her sense of history. I remember when she searched out her family tree and the beautiful job that she did in making a scrapbook of pictures she located. I remember her talking about going around the house writing “1999” on a variety of items so her descendants would know they existed in another century. She will be very much missed. I know she has found some peace and I am glad that she no longer has to fight illness. My thoughts are with her family and close friends.
Her spirit will continue to be known in my world and as I enjoy those things that she brought to it. Gwen made me smile and gave me a shoulder to tear on, she has invested in me, I remember the joys of fishing and family times, and know that she is where she will be happier than ever, and I continue to smile when I think of her – this way, I can continue to give to her “a return on her investment” The investment of true friendship and sisterhood.
