We will miss this very lovely lady.
You are loved and will always be with us. The fond memories of you will last forever.
Dear Gwyn: You were so supportive to Bob and I as we joined families and I thanked you for that. I loved you as you were so kind and friendly. You had so many friends and family who loved you. You lived a wonderful life and we can all hope to follow in your footsteps.
Darling Aunt Gwen, we know you are finally at peace, as you have shared these thoughts with us. You are finally at your journey’s end or MAYBE just the beginning of your new life. You were the grandest Lady and an inspiration in our lives over so many years. May the Lord keep you by his side always, and we know you have so many stories to tell. God Bless You and rest in peace. We will miss you.
