Wilbert and family, Our sincere and deepest condolences. We remember Gwen very well in the good old days, . she was an extremely friendly person and a pleasure to be around. I believe she was employed at the Toronto Star. so very sorry to hear of her passing. Jerry & Sue Newton.

Gwen - an amazing human being with a big heart.  It was a pleasure to work closely with her at canfitpro, she always went above and beyond to help my team with collections. We had great laughs and so many brilliant discussions about life.  Rest easy my friend!

I worked with Gwen for many years at canfitpro...first in different departments and later together on the finance team.  As a co-worker, Gwen was extremely supportive.  She was always there as a sounding board for ideas, to answer any question or just an ear to vent to.  I will always remember her at her desk, playing Candy Crush and rocking out to Q107.  As a friend, she was always there with a funny story or anecdote, or a sassy comeback.  I absolutely loved her dry sense of humor.  She never forgot a birthday or special occasion.  She always took the time to call or message to check in or have a chat...even up until her passing.  She was a wonderful friend, and I will miss her dearly.  Whatever is after this life, I hope that Gwen has peace, happiness and some classic rock to jam to.

Gwen was an amazing wife, mother and sister.  Being the eldest of 8 siblings, 6 brothers and myself, she sure had her patience tested.  We have had many great memories.  This picture was our visit to Niagara Falls, with Dougie.  He was so happy to have Gwen there too.  Rest in Peace Gwen  we love you and will miss you ❤️

You have such a kind heart, always willing to help people in need. Willing to devote your time and energy to make other people smile or have delicious food. I recall you always donate your time at a local church, we together laughed and joked about peeling 200 potatoe on a single day. You always tell me a fresh and wise perspective that I don’t know and I really lack as a young professional. You taught me how to talk to difficult conversation with clients and I admire the words you use and how nicely everything sounds from your voice. You taught me how to laugh and survive even if the situation is not in your favour. I was so excited to offer you a full time position and I still remember the light in your eyes when I told you the news. Thank you for all the fun and challenges we went through together. I wish you peace and joy in heaven!

My deepest condolences to Gwen's family. I worked with Gwen at canfitpro and sat just a few desks apart. She was always kind and caring with a great sense of humour! Thinking of your family and wishing you peace as you navigate this tremendous loss.
