So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

From the first moment I walked into ASP, Gwen was so warm and loving. We became good friends through the years and after she retired, we all loved when she and Sissy came to visit. It would be a trip for them, they would get worn out as they had so many friends at ASP they probably walked a country mile visiting all of us. She was a wonderful Christian lady that I will miss terribly. I know she is happy to be with our Heavenly Father and her family who has been waiting for her to join the Jubilee. Gwen, I love you, will miss you, and thank you so much for being such a special friend and extended family to me. I love you always.

Gwen was a sweet beautiful lady whom I had the pleasure of working with at Arkansas State Police. Her outgoing personality was contagious and she was a joy to be around. Praying for comfort and strength for her family.

I worked with this lively and friendly redhead at the Arkansas Public Service Commission. I've lost touch over the past several years and am sadden to know that she had some loss and struggles these past years. Gwen welcomed me and befriended me when I started working at the APSC. Rest In Peace kind lady, I will always remember my fellow redhead.

Such a blessing to have known sweet and lovely Gwen and meeting some of her family members who meant the world to her. It is gratifying to know that she is no longer suffering, but reunited with her Heavenly family and friends, especially her Sissy, who she talked about and loved so much. I enjoyed our visits and listening to her stories, and laughed so hard when JoAnn and I did a"spa treatment" on her one evening when she was in Rehab. She will be missed, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends!
