Our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies. My Great Aunt Gwen will always have a special place in my heart. I loved when we visited her. She was a very sweet lady who had a wonderful smile. She was undeniably pleasant and dignified in her manner.
She reminded me of my grandfather Harry.
A beautiful soul is at rest.
Our thoughts go out to her immediate family at this time.
My condolences and deepest sympathy to Gwen’s children, grandchildren and relatives. Gwen was a good friend and I will miss her but she will live in my heart with the other people dear to me, that have passed away before her. .
