    So much has happened since 1979, I was so young when you became my mother in law, I looked up to you and loved you very much. I remember when I had my gall bladder taken out in 82 the nurses told you when I came out of the drugs I kept calling your name! The vacations to the beach we took you with us was so much fun I never forgot them. Time and people separated us but the kids always missed you and was grateful for the time they had with you as I was. You will be missed the grannie and I thank you for all you ever did for me I loved you very much. Debbie johnson

    Brenda and Bobby I am so sorry. You were very lucky to have your mother with you for such a long time. Remember all the good things and share them with your children and grandchildren.

    Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Gwendlyn. Pour out your
    heart to God in prayer for help and comfort. He will provide the help needed
    because he cares for everyone who loved Gwendlyn.
