  1. So sorry to hear. I grew up with Gwen in Meadowbrook Park. We had many good times as kids….back when kids could roam and play overall the neighborhood! We went all through jr high and high school together. She was a good girl, happy and fun loving. Thoughts and prayers with her family. So sorry for your loss.

    • So sad to her about Gwen. She was my one of my best friends growing up. We would go to Richmond to visit her all the time. I was in her wedding and she was in ours. We had some great times at the lake also. She will definitely be missed
