Gwenda and I enjoyed many lunchtime walks or simply sitting by the River eating our lunch. I always looked forward to that time of my day......... - Posted by: Sheryl (friend) on: Dec 07, 2013

Gwenda wrote so many articles promoting the Winnipeg Classical Guitar Society and was a regular at concerts. She helped us so much. My sincere condolences to her family.

Gwenda was a good friend and admirer of my playing for years. When I was going through a professional crisis with the WSO, she stood by me, and was an advocate for me after I left. I wish I could have thanked her for her friendship, and support. She will be missed by so many. - Posted by: Vincent Ellin (Friend) on: Nov 28, 2013
