I was in Gwen's high school class at Mountain View. She was always a nice classmate but I didn't learn until the past 12 months how strong she expressed her Christian Faith. She has stayed in touch with me due to my illness as she often wanted to know how I was doing and to let me know that she was praying for me. In a recent text from her, I knew she was not doing good but this is her quote: "I always say if you can get out and around you have to be thankful every day. I thank God every day that I am doing as good as I am." Gwen was a great example for all of us to follow and she will be missed by many. Boyce Rorie, Mountain Home, Arkansas

My Great Aunt Gwen was truly a blessing on Earth… Always a smile, always encouraging, always helping others, a Godly woman, a family first kind of woman. I will miss her and all of her comments of encouragement on my Facebook posts. I’m rejoicing knowing that she’s in Heaven and I will see her again.
