Aunt Gwen will be missed by every soul she touched. She was a lovely lady and I will always remember her and Uncle A. with fondness. Some of the best memories of my childhood were visiting my grandma (Dolores) in the summer and going to the weekly all-night Euchre tournaments with the sisters. It was a great tradition where all were welcome to play so long as there was no table talk! The midnight suppers were always delicious and somehow even though you never knew how many people were coming, there was always enough. These Wilkinson sisters were a great example of how family should be. Thank you for teaching the rest of us that.

Dear Aunt Gwen, you will be missed by so many. You and Uncle Albert were special to me...........so many visits to Galt when I was a little girl. When I was in teachers' college you took me under your wing while I was teaching in Galt. Those were good times. My mother, Teen, loved you and Uncle Albert very much. This would be another sad day for mom. Lots of love to you!
