Sending prayers and blessings to my childhood friend and family, I remember your mom cooking popcorn for us many mornings before school, and taking us out to dinner after we performed-little did we know,we had to perform there also, she was proud to say that’s my child! You my friend was blessed to have a jewel from god as your mother. When she spoke about her children, she had the biggest smile. The joy and proudness that you brought to her,I will always cherish. Your childhood friend, Tracy

Sending my heartfelt prayers out to the entire family.  It was a pleasure meeting you and being around you whenever I came to around to see one of your daughters Shantae.  You will be missed and I know that your family will cherish and keep their memories of you with them.

We'll all be back together again one day little sister.  No sense asking how was the trip , because we all know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  We'll all miss you.  Love ❤️ all of us 💞.


We are so sorry for your loss, Gwen was such a sweet person. So happy we got to be a part  of your family and I got to know you when Whitney and Alec got together. RIP . Love from the Archer's

The family have my deepest condolences and may we always know that earth has no pain or sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. As you all know, Gwen was my friend. From our teenage years when we first met. I loved Gwen and I know within my heart that she loved me too. Hold your heads up and understand that the road that Gwen took is a road that we all have to travel one day. The thing is we need to be ready like Gwen was. I love you all and will keep you in my prayers🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


Dear Family,

I know at this time of your sorrow and grief no words can make you feel better. I want to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family. Your mother was a very special person, and always extended her love and grace to me. God bless and be well.

Gwen. My true friend. She was my friend since we were 13 or 14 years old. As we grew, we laughed all the time, and still remain friends until her passing. What else can I about my friend?  She was genuine, a quality that I will miss about her. A rare gem.
