To the Family, Thank you for letting me know about Gwen, and so sorry to hear that sad news. We saw each other on occasions, after our working together at the greenhouse. I really thought she would beat the Cancer, so in a way I am quite shocked. With my deepest sympathy to you all, Cathie Turnbull.

Bye Auntie Gwen, you will be so missed by all the family. Sadly we only met on a few occasions but you will never be forgotten. God Bless to Ian and Craig we are thinking of you and your families here in Ireland. Love Shaun & Sandra

For Gwen, Having a sister is a journey, throughout life it does not end. But you were more than just a big sister you were also our friend. We have our memories that comfort us and make us smile even though you have gone away. "We'll remember you in sunshine, it's rays warming earth and sky. "We'll remember you in bird's graceful wings as they glide and flutter by. "We'll remember you in the summer breeze, and in the softly falling rain. "We'll remember you in dark storm clouds, the rainbows picture frame. "We'll remember you in the blossoms and the fields, and in gentle streams that flow. "We'll remember you in all that lives, all that brings life...... and that grows. You will never be forgotten Gwen, you will always be in our hearts sweetheart. Sharing in your sorrow Ian & Craig we know your Mom loved you both very much. You were both the love of her life, and she was so proud of you both. She will be with her beloved Roy now, so she will be happy in heaven watching over us all. We know how much you will miss her but she would not want you to be sad. So as she would want us to do, we will raise a glass or two in her memory. She was a much loved big sister to us all. All our love to you both, Lynn & Mick

Dear Ian, Craig, Susan and Lisa: We were deeply saddened to hear of Aunt Gwen's passing. Her spirit and character was always so strong and life embracing. She was always the story teller and could see the lighter side of a situation like the time she was working at a bank and nearly put the heavy duty floor polisher through the front window when it got away from her; as she told it I could clearly picture the situation and her ability to laugh at herself carried us along with her. In the past few years we had shared our lives with her via email and no matter how frantic it sounded she made time to make comment and let us know how she was doing. She will be greatly missed. Love H & H

So very sorry to hear the sad news about Aunty Gwen she will always hold a special place in our hearts, we have lots of lovely memories of our trip to Canada and her trips to us here in the UK. Our love and thoughts to you all xx

Dear Ian, Craig and family, We were so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was always a good friend to us as well as a loving cousin. She will be sadly missed by many relatives and friends.

Aunty Gwen was such a lovely lady and to hear of her passing was so heartbreaking. I will never forget how welcoming she was, as was Uncle Roy, Ian and Craig when my Mum and I came over to Canada many years ago. We will all miss her dearly x Lots of love Leeanne and family xx

Dear Grandma, There are so many things I wish I could say. We were never really close, and I regret not getting to know you better, but I hope you know that I do miss and love you. You are my wonderful grandma who was always so kind to Seth and I. I really enjoyed Christmas with you as a child opening presents and receiving your thoughtful gifts; as well as our lunch dates to the Rustic Mug and Gus and Guidos. When I think of you some words that come to mind are kind, generous, and most of all, unique. Do you remember the time when we slept over and went to McDonalds for lunch and watched the Neverending movies in your basement? What about playing with the bricks and the castle fortress? Or the time I came over after tobaggonning for milk and cookies? Those are just some of the memories I will cherish. I'm sorry I didn't take more initiative to visit you and get to know you on a more personal level. Consequently, I am so glad I was able to visit you at the hospital over the past week. I really felt we connected when it mattered the most and got to know each other a bit better too. I enjoyed listening to your stories of England, and your cousin Ralph, and just our quainte conversations. We talked about a lot of incredible stuff and it was really cool to just listen and learn more about you. I will never forget you and I am glad you were a part of my life. I love you Grandma and always will. God bless. With lots of love, adieu; Mackenzie

So sorry to hear the sad news about your Mum passing away. We are thinking of you all and send you all our love. Our thoughts were with you all over Christmas,Mum, Mary, Linda and Tony felt useless being so far away, though even if they had been there deep down they knew they couldn't have altered the situation. So love to you all, she was a lovely lady your Mum, didn't deserve to suffer, at least she is at peace. God bless, Sharon and the family, xxxx

Dear Ian and family, I give my deepest condolences for the loss of your Mum & Grandma. I also give my deepest condolences to the entire family. Ian, you certainly did follow your Dad's wishes. You took VERY good care of your Mum. You were always there to help her & you were there if she needed you for anything. I have always thought that. As Ian said he was going to do, we should all raise a toast in Gwen's honor.

To Gwen my dearest sister & friend, I loved how we talked on the phone, how excited you would be if you had a win at the casino with your friends or the cakes you had with your friends while you played cards. How proud you were of Ian and Craig and what a great help and comfort your two boys were to you. How Lisa would make fabulous meals. How when you came home to Doncaster to be with your family it was as if you had never been away. How with your brother and sisters we'd talk about days gone by and we'd laugh until tears poured down our faces. Thank you for being a special sister to me, giving me help and advice through my life. I will love and miss you always, your loving sister Linda x

Dear Craig and Family, thinking of you and sending you our deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear Mother. Bill and Judy Merrill

In loving memory. I will miss Mum greatly. Sweet, generous, kind and caring. I will remember the happy times most of all, because there were so many. She loved Canada, but her heart was always partly back home in England. Mum missed her family a great deal and visited as often as she could. I will take her back home in the spring to rest with her Mum and Dad. I miss you Mum and you will always be loved.

Dear Grandma Gwen, When I was young, you would let me play, and always took us out on special days. I loved the old house, and looking at bones. I would navigate the land like it was my own. I used to wish I had a British accent like you. These days, I do a fair immitation, too. Grandma, you and I haven't been close these past few years- I regret that now, and I have shed a few tears. You were always so good to me-- gave me money whenever I visited. You would never take no for an answer, it's like you solicited. Thank you so kindly, and please don't be shy, We can be close now-- we don't have to say g'bye. I love you, Grandma.

I hope I kept my promise to Dad on his death bed:"Ian, promise me that you will look after your mom for me." When mom was told the bad news about her illness she said (with a wink) "bugger!" Mom always worried about everyone but herself. Even in the end, she was concerned about the timing. She wanted to leave us before Christmas, and when Christmas day came, she said, "I guess I'll have to wait." Being true to her words, Mom passed away at 3:10 am on Boxing Day. Mom's wishes will be met when she is back home, in England, with her family. So, Mom (as you wished) we will have a drink in your honor. We will toast to your life. Not in sorrow, but in appreciation. Luv ya, Mom!

Please accept my condolences in your sad loss ...Gwen was always so kind & thoughtful although we had mever met I was often in touch with her through the Britannis Village, we shall miss her so much .
