Dear Susan,Anne, and Beau,
My heart is deeply saddened with the loss of your beautiful mother. Gwen loved her family more than anything in this world which is her most precious gift to all of you and your children. Your mother's dynamic personality, humor and depth of concern always provided a fresh perspective when shared with those she loved. Her twinkling eyes matched her light-hearted wit and always left me smiling. I thank her for her genuine kindness to me throughout our lives together and simply wish that our paths had crossed more often. Much Love, Diana Campbell
