You will never know how much Aunt Gwen meant to me. She always had a wonderful sense of making everyone feel so special and loved, and I know it came from the heart. She set a wonderful example for wanting all to enjoy her good cooking and having fun---memories that have stayed with me through the years. I have used so many of her recipes and think of her each time I am preparing one. I know that she is with our Lord---a special angel to all. Please know that I am praying for all of you during this very sad and sorrowful time in your lives. With my deepest sympathy and love, Debra

Before 'B.B.' BJ's dad passed away in October, we visited him daily at Spanish Oaks. We were fortunate during these visits to also become acquainted with Gwen. We found her to be one of the sweetest ladies we have ever known. Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Though I didn't get to see her as much as I did other aunts, she was definitely one of my favorites! Always had me laughing & I loved how she always made sure her purse was with her.
