Brother Mark, OSA +
remembering good times while growing up on Bruce Avenue,Windsor.Our deepest sympathies to her family.
Craig and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss. I remember how Gwennie loved to practice her French with my Dad. Please know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
When I moved to London and began attending St. Georges because of their outreach ministry, Gwen took me under her wing and invited me to join Clericus and the first one was in Lukan, so she told me to meet her at St. Georges and she would drive. I arrived way to early and went to the morning prayer service, and forgot that I was in an elevated pew in the choir section and promptly fell off the step fracturing my foot! Gwen wanted to take me to the hospital but I was insistent that I wanted to go to the meeting, so with an ice pack, off we went. It was Gwen’s concern and caring for others that caught me and I looked up to her for that! Blessing Gwen, Rest in peace! George and family I am so sorry for your loss! I hope that you will find some peace as you work through grieving the loss of a great lady! Blessings, Bonnie
Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Please accept my condolences, just know that I am here for you, and please do not hesitate to reach out, especially during this difficult time.
Dear Sue,
We were so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. There are people that we never get over losing. It is a reflection of how much they meant to us. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. In Sympathy, Kerry and Lori Cruickshank
Sue, thinking of you and your family as you grieve this moment in time. Big hugs to you to help lighten your heavy heart.
To George and Family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My recollection of Gwen goes all the way back to our high school days in Windsor. She was a true friend who tolerated with good humour the nonsense that her school colleagues performed and she was admired for her wit and even handed approach to life.
Her life and career have been most impressive and she is a credit to her family, her training and her faith.
Gwen will surely be missed, especially by those closest to her but we are all the richer for her presence among us.
We are truly sorry to hear of Gwen’s passing. Our prayers & thoughts are with you at this time.
Dear George and Family,
We have fond memories of Gwen, you and your family, when we moved to Sarnia. You were tremendous support when we moved into the parish at St. James the Apostle. It is hard to believe so many years have passed. May your wonderful memories of Gwen provide you with great comfort at this time. In Christ, Nancy and daughter Joan Murchison.
George, we are saddened by Gwen’s sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.
Dear Gwen, you have gone to the Lord, but you will be sorely missed. Your kindness and caring will always be remembered by my family and myself when we lost our husband and father. You did everything possible for Len and all of us and we shall never forget you. We send our greatest condolences to your husband and family, God bless and keep them during this sad time.
Hi Rob, I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for your loss, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sue and family,
So very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Your mom was clearly wonderful and special woman, who touched many.
I am sad to learn of The Reverend Gwen’s passing. She was an awesome lady and certainly leaves quite a legacy; great kids and amazing grandchildren. To the Fraser, Martins, and Mills families: may your memories of love and light lift you up during this difficult time. Thinking of you all, Mr. Kernaghan.
To the Fraser Family –
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Gwen. She was a very special person. I truly admired her and always enjoyed working with her. My caring thoughts are with you.

Gwen was a mighty role model to me growing up at the Church of Hosannas in Hyde Park. Smart, articulate, creative, playful, discerning, academic, musical, strong. I was thrilled when she asked me to accompany her on guitar & voice, on a song she’d written. I’m so sorry for your loss, Susan & family. I’m grateful for Gwen’s positive impact on my life.

A lot of high schools have a trendy idiot, liberal teacher. Gwen was ours
