Words can not express the gratitude and pleasure of having Gwen as a friend. She has touched so many hearts which was a reflection of the heart she had within. It’s comforting to know she is in the great hands of the Almighty and will never feel pain or discomfort again. We love her here, but God loves her more. My prayers are with the family during this time.
Even though we were together a relatively short time you will be missed and remembered by all the lives you touched wherever Jehovah God placed you in your life time.
I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Our Diva is flying high with her Guardian, Lord Jesus Christ. Her smile,her laughter,and her humor will be charished. Rest in Peace with our Heavenly Father Gwen. We will miss you Diva.
Gwen will be so missed, it breaks my heart to know that this beautiful spirited women has left this earth. Please know that she has touched so many of our lives we will miss her lovely smile. God has called one of his Angels home, much love to you and your family!
My heart felt condolence to the family of Mrs Gwen Cameron, may God comfort you in this time of sorrow.
I met Gwen through a mutual friend, Floresa Shepard. Gwen was a kind, fun-loving person. We hit it off immediately. Though I did not know her long, it didn’t take a long time to know how special she was.
May God give you His peace and comfort for your family.
Gwen’s sudden going has caused a great sadness. She knew the true meaning of friendship and never counted the cost of loyalty. There are many in her immediate surroundings who weep today, for they have lost the best friend they ever had. I too must make adjustments without my ” sis n law” as we so affectionately referred to each other. We weep not as though we have no hope for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I am thankful for the time she was in my life.
No Man No the day or the hour when our God will return to gather his people. As we mourn, grieve, and reflect on the beautiful spirit that Gwen possessed, Let us hold near and dear her passionate powerful presence. She imparted love and encouragement to support her families and friends. I loved her courageous, free and bold spirit to live each day Full of Love and Laughter.
Although I was not afforded and blessed with the opportunity of growing up knowing Gwen, from the moment I was told we were in fact brother and sister via our father George Parker I accepted and loved her as such immediately. In our short time in each other’s presence and more so since I have come to know a passionate, gifted, loving, complex yet extremely giving soul. She could break out in laughter as fast as tears so there was little ambiguity about what she REALLY thought and felt. Always with the KNOWLEDGE only God would deliver her, she tried daily to live in His grace. I think she succeded. I will miss you. I love you. Your brother, Brian Parker
Loss of words but I will say that Ms. Gwen was amazing Women always had a beautiful smile on her face. I only knew her for a short period of time but stay speaking to me with positive thoughts on FB she will dearly miss.
To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. Enjoy all that God has for you. Gwen, your beautiful smile and those gorgeous hats brightened up my days. You will be missed classmate, Soldan Class of 75.
We send our condolences to the family and know that GOD is able and he makes no mistakes. We will life you up in prayer and he will bring you through this. Finally I say that GOD take those that are ready giving us a chance to get ready. Stay strong in the lord.
I was shocked to hear Gwen had passed on to be with the Lord. She was full of energy and I enjoyed seeing her FB posts and pics. I worked with her at the North region for a bit. I cannot imagine your grief and my prayers go to you and your family. May she Rest In Peace.
Sorry for your loss,praying that you will comfort in the days,years,and months to come,
Goodbye my Friend: You have your Wings now so Fly high in the sky into to Golden Gates of Heaven and into the arms of GOD. May Peace be with You . I will treasure the precious memories of our Friendship Always ??????
May Gwen’s family and friend’s memories bring comfort during this most difficult time. Gwen lived 3 houses down from me for the last few years. We would often chat as I either walked or drove pass her house. She expressed a desire to move back home (Missouri) when her mother was ill. When I heard that she had transitioned, I was elated that her relocation desire was fulfilled. I didn’t get to know her as well as I would have liked to, but her beautiful smile and spirit I will forever remember. Although her untimely death took us by surprise, it didn’t take her nor God by surprise. Farewell Gwen, until we meet on the other shore.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends. It was a pleasure having Gwen enter my life and being my “work auntie”. Her laugh and smile will be most remembered & treasured. My God be with all during this time. I will continue to pray for strength and understanding.
Carl, you have my deepest condolences. Praying for you and the family. I pray that God will continue to strengthen you and wipe every year away. I love you Marva.
As many have said, , Gwen you touched so many and I am very happy to have known you if only for a short time. I have the delightful memory of meeting you and your beautiful mother during a birthday celebration, that continued into a friendship. God has called you home, and I will miss you too. God’s blessing to your family.
Gwen, when you smiled it felt as if the sun was shining it’s warm rays of acceptance that warmed the soul. Your laughter was the sounds of happiness that tried to heal the world. You knew hope, you knew and gave love. You knew life and lived! You are a blessing and God’s eternal gift. Thank you Jesus for blessing us with Gwen.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Gwen Cameron. Hold fast to the many memories you shared and know that her spirit will remain with you forever!
