Wonderful lady she was always happy to see you when you were at Moody Pre School. She will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences to Gwen’s family. Gwen was such a great friend to me when I worked at Moody Methodist PreSchool for seven years. She was always so very kind to all the parents of the children who went to the school along with the entire staff at Moody. She will be so missed! May the Eternal light shine upon her family.
