Rest in Peace Gwen.

I worked with Gwen at the R.C.M.P. for many years. When I started there in 1959 she had already been there for several years. In those days we were all like a family. I remember that she was always a ‘lady’ in dress and personality. After I retired in 1998, Rolande Biollo and I went out for lunch with here sometimes and kept in touch with Gwen for awhile.
Nickolas George says
