We have lovely memories of Gwen's warmth, kindness and delicious baking at the St Peter's Mainly Music group. Her banana loaf was a favourite. With kind wishes, Rebecca, Daisy and Lottie.

We were sorry to hear of Gwen's loss to our community. When we moved to Christchurch and were lonely she arrived one day with a plate of cookies at our door (and Den) and warmly welcomed us to Ilam. This warmth continued towards us for the last 6 years and she will be sorely missed by all. Our thoughts and warmth are with the whole family at this time. James and Robyn Cliff
