My "Mate" Gwen
Forever in My Heart
My dearest "mate" Gwen passed away yesterday 12th March, 2009.
Gwen was diagnosed with advanced aggressive pancreatic and liver cancer 2 weeks ago. Her battle was short and bravely fought.
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to Brian, Gavin Janine, Damien, Drew & Nicole.
Gwen was one of lifes "true" characters
She was always there to lend a helping hand,
a shoulder to lean upon, and a tissue when needed,
She was my partner in crime, and loved to have a really good time,
She never said "NO" to a brandy & dry,
Always had a joke on hand or a tall tale to tell,
Many great memories of good times shared
Forever in my heart and thoughts
A great "mate" and companion who will be dearly missed
Rest In Peace

So sorry for the loss of your friend. It was good she didn't have a long time of suffering. I know she will be missed by her family and friends.
Dear Jan ~~ Great tribute to dear Gwen. She will be very sadly missed by so many of us. I love the photo with the little dog. Is it Penny?
Do look after yourself now Jan, you must be so very upset and tired too.
Once the funeral is over, you get some real rest.
And at least dear Gwen is not in such great pain any more. Let's be
thankful for that. Take great care
dear friend, I love you, Merle.
Oh, Jeanette, that is so sad. And so sudden. Hope her family are coping ok, and hope you are doing ok, too. Gwen was a gorgeous person, I imagine you will miss her terribly. Thanks for letting me know. If there is anything I can do ... please ask.
Lots of love from Connie, Baron and Elisabeth xxx
You must feel exactly the same as I did and do when my best friend since 32 years passed away at 66 of colon cancer which is very similar to the pancreatic one. It was yesterday exactly one week ago. I couldn't write it on my blog.
Dear Jen, I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is to lose a dear friend. It happens more and more especially now we get older. The photos are great reminders of better times. That particular kind of cancer is the worst.
I wish you lots of strength!
Hi Jenette
Really sorry to hear that Gwen died, especially so quickly. Take care, Love Marcus
So sorry to hear you lost such a good friend. It's very hard as you miss them so much.
Hope your cold is better. Take care of yourself.
Condolences to you and to Gwen's family Jan.
Oh this just sends chills over my body!! How terribly sad you must feel. To lose a best friend so suddenly. Tho, there is comfort in knowing her battle wasn't a long many year battle fought with a lot of suffering for so many years.
My deepest sympathies dear Jen. And to her family...my condolences.
Dear Jen,
My deepest sympathy to you on the lose of your dear friend Gwen. Even through they are gone, we can always have them with us in our hearts and memories. Like Merle, I like the picture of her and her puppy. What a wonderful memory of happier times.

I am so sorry for you and all of Gwen's very dear friends and family. She will be missed for a long time. And I will always remember her from these few years I have been able to know her through the blogging world.
Thank you for this wonderful tribute post of her. She was your 'bud,' your 'mate.' She always seemed so happy although I gather she had a lot of pain and suffering lately.
May God bless you all and may He allow you to keep your wonderful memories of her. And may she be resting in peace now with her Lord.
I will remember her along with my Aussie friends as the lovely lady and cheerful friend of you all she was.

I'm so sorry to hear about Gwen
Please take very good care of yourself.
Dear Jan ~~I don't know how on earth you will be able to read our great blogging friends' comments, because I had so many tears could hardly read them. I hope you are doing OK.
Nice the family are around you as they loved Gwen so much also. She was always with you and them. I hope Brian is OK and has family to support him also. I am glad you liked my tribute, yours was really
wonderful. Get some rest my dear friend. Much love, Merle.
Dear Jeanette, I was shocked to hear of Gwen's passing on Biker Bob's blog, and came over here immediately to find out more details. I didn't know her, except through you, but I pass on to you and Gwen's family and friends my sincere condolences.
{{{Hugs}}}

My deepest sympathy ...
I am relieved to know that she didn't suffer for a long time.
My BIL died from Pancreatic cancer. It was an 18 month battle of epic pain.
Rest in peace dear Gwen!

Gen..I'm sorry to hear about your friend, It is so hard to bear the loss of a loved one even when you know they are no longer suffering. Condolences to her family and loving friends.
Jen
A wonderful tribute to your dear friend. That cancer is the same that took away my favorite cousin over a year ago. Peace be with you.
Hi Jen. I read my earlier comment above and realized my mistake. I meant that I'm truly *sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about your friend...
