Missing you everyday big sis. We love you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love Karen Allen Thompson 

My condolences to the Allen and Payne families.  To all Gwen's friends, I'm still in shock.  Gwen and I kept in contact with each other after I  retired.  We were neighbors.  James and Gwen Payne were 2 of the nicest people I have met in my life time.  I will miss Gwen's laugh.  I will miss hearing her voice.  Rest In Peace MY FRIEND!!  Until we meet again in heaven!!

I am sorry that I couldn't be there.
Gwen's passing is shocking.
Rest in peace cousin.


My Condolences and prayers for the family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Deepest Condolence to the Allen and Payne family.  Gwen had the best memory and we often talked about our childhood and families in long conversation we had while working together for years at the IRS. I am heartbroken and I will miss her laugh.  

To the family what-so-ever soothes your spirit, comforts your soul and brings you peace, that is what I wish for you all at this difficult time. 



My dear sister, this is a hard pill to swallow. I'm still in shock. I miss you already. I love you sis. Until we meet again Rest In Paradise
Love Karen Ann

Praying that GOD will give you strength and comfort during this time of bereavement.   Love Stanley Joe. Isom and Family 

Sorry for your loss James.  May God give you strength during this time.  Condolences to you and your family. 

Sincere condolences to the Payne & Allen family.  Gwen was a hard worker who would share life lessons that she had learned as well as her faith.  I have fond memories of working with both she and her husband James.  

I'm truly sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for the entire family.

“Our family is keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.”  

My condolences to the family, I've worked with Gwen at the IRS in the Memphis Payroll Department, I recalled when Gwen always get on me walking barefoot at work and have us cracking up how she talk to customers on the phone, she was always easy to converse with, the day she told me she was retiring. I was speechless but happy for her,  Gwen was a great worker and she will truly be missed.



I wanted to give my condolences to Gwen family.  Gwen was a wonderful person.  I worked with Gwen until she retired.  I enjoyed working with her.  She was always smiling and always willing to help no matter how many times I asked.  She will be missed.
