I am sad to hear of Mrs Gwen passing. Mr Marvin & family, my  condolences. I share your grief. Mrs Gwen was a strong & remarkable woman. I was blessed to help care for her during her health journey. She was a beautiful soul inside & out. Our heavenly father has completed her final journey on earth. Family, please take comfort in knowing we all will see her again. Keeping the family lifted in my prayers.

This picture was taken at a birthday dinner some years ago.

Marvin,

To the Thomas-Suddeth families:

I offer my deepest condolences as you mourn the loss of your beloved Gwen. She was a beautiful soul and  prescious gem who lived and loved life to the fullest. I pray for the Lord my Savior to wrap his loving arms around you individually and collectively, giving you peace and solace as you grieve now and in the days ahead.

As I ponder over years of beautiful pictures and fond memories,  I reflected on our days at Westwood High School where  I first met Gwen. We briefly shared a locker and  I so admired her bubbly personality and positive attitude. I knew  that I wanted her to be my friend. Gwen loved to dance and loved entertaining during the holidays. She welcomed everyone and made sure her guests had plenty to eat and  left their home happy. Even when Gwen was not feeling well, she always made her guests feel special. 

Gwen will always be a lasting  and beautiful memory.  Take your  rest my sweet friend.  Rest well.  I will miss you always.

Our family connected with Gwendolyn just last July.  We had a great conversation and fun times.  Marvin and Gwendolyn are big supporters of our Bailey-Webb Family Reunions.  We will forever remember this time.  To her family and friends, we hope your memories bring you comfort.

You have our sincerest sympathies,

Cousin Billy (Leon Jefferson & Family)

To the family of my dear childhood friend, Gwen who was affectionately known as "Topsy" by family and friends.  I am praying that your heart feels the depth of God's comfort and love during this difficult time. His comfort is like nothing else on earth. 

Topsy and I were true friends since we met, even after I moved away from the city of Memphis in 2004.  I will miss her daily text messages, our regular talks about life, current events, and what she was up to, whether or not it was crocheting/knitting, working on a puzzle, or planning one of her lavish parties.  I will also miss  her LAUGHTER and beautiful SMILE.  

Here is a quote by an unknown author that represents our friendship: "Childhood friends are the stars in the constellation of our lives, even when one burns out, its light still reaches us."  

Je t'aime, cher ami!

I knew my beloved friend since age 18.  We met as we embarked on furthering our education attending college.  Somehow, we ended up in the same classes.  Gwen always had a strong desire to have something, to have a purpose, to explore,  and to enjoy the finer things in life.  She was persistent & wouldn’t give up.  She loved having gathering & inviting friends and family to celebrate life with her.  I’ll always hold the memories of her last two gatherings, her birthday & Christmas.  It reminds me that we shouldn’t put off expressing love to our family and friends💗. Tomorrow isn’t promised to us.  Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a beautiful friend. I will forever be grateful💕

TO:  The Family
Extending my sympathy and condolences during this time of bereavement.  And you are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽

Rest In Peace to my dear sweet cousin, Gwen. I have wonderful memories of visiting with Gwen and celebrating holidays in her home with her husband Marvin and other family members. I will always remember her and cherish my memories of her. My love and condolences to Marvin and her family.
