    You will forever be missed Gwenette, but the memories I will always cherish and hold so dear and near in my heart, the childhood memories playing and talking at grandma’s house, talking on the phone and sending encouraging text messages about how good God is. My cousin nothing will ever replace your contagious smile and laughter. Sleep in peace sweet spirit until He returns. I will always love you Gwenette. God Bless the family.
