What a special lady Gwenie was. I don't think there was anything that Gwen & Rosemary wouldn't try just to amuse or keep up with all the kids. I'll always remember your laugh & your enthusiasm & your upbeat personality. Being around you was just plain fun. I remember to this day the summer back in the 60's when I was in high school and you invited me to come stay with you & Dutch. How could I ever forget the two of us singing along with the James Brown records!! Or the fact that you would hand me the car keys & send me on an errand even though you knew I didn't have my license yet! (My Dad would have had a fit if he'd known!) You were truly one of a kind and I will love you & remember you always.

You weren't enough older than me for me to call you Aunt Gwen, but I was so young I didn't know any better, so I think of you as "Aunt Gwen" today and always have. I will see you again when I join our family in Eternity. With loving thoughts and memories. My deepest heart felt sympathies to Mary Lou, Dennis and Larry. ~ Ida and Betsy (daughter)

I don't know you as Gwen, I know you as Mim. I can remeber the drives to school and you would sing to me every morning, those walking trips down the big ditch that we always took, the golf ball sells you would help me with, the trips we took to get something to eat and the times in church when I stayed in big church with you but never could keep my eyes open so I would sleep on or under the pues. Wow its hard to accept the fact that your gone...but in my heart i know you will always be there. Wait for me at those pearly gates for I will see you again in the future. I also remeber the trip to Dallas you took with us for my cheerleader compitition. All the good memories we had will still be in my heart and my head....I love and miss you dearly. I wish you would have gotten to meet my fiance because you would love him just like I do!!! I love and miss you so much Autumn

I only met Gwen once last year and found her to have such a very sweet soul. I know she will be missed especially by Dennis as she was such a large part of his life. My prayers are with you all.

I only knew Gwen for the last 2 years but will always remember her as a sweet and kind-hearted lady. From all the stories I have heard, she was a fun-loving and wonderful Mom, Grandmother, friend, co-worker and woman who loved ALL animals, reading, travelling and attending the family reunions. I am blessed to have known her the short time I did ... My heart is sad for Dennis for he will greatly miss his Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with Dennis and the family.

I know Heaven received another angel on Sunday! I didn't know Gwen but if she was anything like her son Dennis then she was kind-hearted and loving. She will be missed but I know she is living it up in Heaven! God Bless - Jan

Gwenie was one of sweetest, most loving ladies I have ever known. When she lived in Brownwood, she always had me, Dennis and Larry in tow doing something fun. I remember hunting for "nigger toes"(I know that is not politically correct, but that was before we knew better) in that big pasture behind their house on Vine Street. She made many trips to the mighty Willis Creek to take us fishing for perch and catfish. I loved her dearly and I will miss her. What a great auntie and a Great American for sure. Clark Murray

Gwen was one of the sweetest women I have ever met. She was one of my favorites at the annual family reunions. Always smiling and laughing, and interested in what was going on in my life. I especially enjoyed the stories she would share about my grandpa, Dan Murray. God Bless You Gwen! I know there was a joyful reunion when you reached Heaven. Love and prayers for the family. Leslie
