Lovely Gwen. What an inspiration to stay curious and keep learning and trying new things. You will be missed so much and I wish I was there to give our Sandy a hug. Lots of love to everyone there, Josie x
Dear Kirsteen, Glen, Chris, Joe, Ben, Simon, Skyla, Maadi, Sandi & Gemma, We were so very sorry to hear of the passing of Gwenyth.

We are sorry that we can’t be with you today but please know that we will be with you in spirit and we will be thinking of you as you process this sudden and very painful loss.

Dear Gwen, we have shared so many memories over the almost 30 years you have been in my life. Laughter and tears.. We still had plans. I miss you dearly. Cannot believe that there will be no more video calls early morning here/late at night at your end… Shared cups of tea… Long hours, lately with our dogs beside us… I do hope you find peace at your final resting place.xxx Anja
REST, Dear Friend Gwennyth! Your Thursday Pal, Dee
