SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Ross and family I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked to see that Gwen (as we called her in school) had passed. Gwen and I were good friends in junior high and high school and we had a lot of fun and adventures together. We would sometimes get together for a quick coffee when she had a break at Grand Union. We had recently reconnected through messenger and were planning on getting together for lunch soon. So sad that our ” soon ” never came about.
She was such a sweet person and I will always remember her.
Really sorry to hear Wendy passed. I worked with her at Price Chopper and she was one of the nicest people ever. Comfort and peace to you on her parting.
So so sorry for your loss!
So sorry to her of Gwen’s passing. She was such a beautiful person and always kind. Growing up, she was mine and Angie’s Girl Scout leader. Glad I reconnected with her during virtual learning teaching her granddaughter Sophia. I’m sending condolences to all, knowing this will be difficult for all of you.
I was sad to hear Gwen had passed. I was a child growing up in her house as Angie’s friend. She was like a mother to me. She allowed me to be a part of a family I never had. Her kindness and always being there as a mom to her kids (and me) shaped my childhood in a positive way.
May she Rest In Peace and watch over the ones she left behind…
My thoughts are with you
