Dear Jerry & Family, Chuck and I dearly loved Gwen! She was a kind and generous friend. She would do anything to help at Vought, and she always went the extra mile to get the job done. Most of all she had the sweetest spirit, and she loved the Lord. When we were working together, she spoke so often about moving back to Birmingham. I'm so glad y'all did. She will always live in my memories. Love, Sandy and Chuck Canton

Jerry and Family our thoughts and prayers are with you. I had the pleasure of working closely with Gwen for several years at Vought. She was a truly wonderful person and a very thorough and thoughtful employee. She was the Group adminestrator for Systems Engineering and Logistics when I was the Manager there. She will be truly missed by so many of us who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Jerry and Family - Gwen and I worked many hours together at Vought. She was such a dedicated and conscientious worker. I was so proud for her when she earned her college degree, I knew how hard she worked for it. What a wonderful Christian example and legacy she left. John Pimm (former Director of Engineering)

My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have many sweet memories of Gwen. Most involve our kids and FRBC. We know she is walking on streets of gold and celebrating in grand style with family and friends who were waiting for her in Heaven. Still, she is missed here..
