Henry and Family Very Sorry for your loss of your Best Friend, and Mom. My prayers are with you, as you go through life without Gwen. Thankful that she is home with Jesus. Blessings and Love, Cheryl, Warnberg, Siefers

She was so much more than is listed in the obit. She was a good wife, mother, grandmother, employee, as well as dedicated pastor’s wife. She did so much to help keep me and the boys on track and out of trouble. Thank You, Lord, for delivering her from the pain and suffering that crippled her,and taking her home with You.

We are so sorry for your loss

Henry, my prayers are with you.

Henry,
My sincere condolences to you and your family at Gwen’s passing. I pray that in your grief now and in the days and weeks and even years ahead that you will be comforted by the sure and certain hope of the resurrection, knowing that death does not get the final word, for the final word is, “he is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!”

May God bless you my dear friend. In Christ,

Robin
