I am speechless. This loss is beyond words. Please know I am here for you morning, noon, and night. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling and if there was a way to take it away, I would. I would truly do anything to take it away. I am just so sorry.

So many years ago I worked with Gwen at American Republic Insurance Co. and my husband worked with Don at a grocery store. I remember Gwen when she was a new bride. She always had a smile and was a lovely person. She will be missed by so many people.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with your mom for years at Principal and even after her retirement we remained friends. Gwen and I had dinner with the other Contracts A group just a few weeks ago. I am so glad we got that time to share stories of our families. She loved talking about her family. Your mom is with God and your dad now. They are looking down on you and your family with big smiles on their faces. They will always be present in the memories you keep close to your heart. Gwen was a delight and will be missed.

We will all miss Gwen so very much.

DeAnne and family, I am keeping Gwen in my prayers and sending condolences to you and your family. Tony called me to tell me and I was shocked. Your Mom always came across the street to say a "Hello" when I came to visit the kids. God Bless.
