I am so grateful for the life Gwenne lived as I like John Smith felt she was like a second mother. We were so blessed to live in a community that benefited from Gwenne's acts of service. I happened to benefit more than others as I hung out a lot at the Mcivor household when they lived on Farrel and Farnham. In these homes, where she worked tirelessly I received her unending acts of service as she cared for me like I was one of the family. She always had to cook extras as someone with a "hollow leg" would be joining them for dinner.
Gwenne also showed she cared genuinely for my family, which was often discussed between Cathi and me. Even though we saw less and less of her over the years I know Gwenne did all she could to be a positive impact on our lives as that is who she was.
I have a belief similar to Indigenous teachings, where Gwenne's life will affect generations ahead. Gwenne's legacy is ingrained in the character of all the lives she touched. I am so grateful to be friends with her boys who perhaps unknowingly are like their mother are always looking out for and serving those around them.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
