- I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers with all of you during this difficult time. Barbara Rolando
- There now sits an empty seat in my Sunday School class at First Baptist Church which was once occupied by Gwen. Every Sunday when I would get to church, there Gwen would already be in the seat she "assigned" herself. We all had one. What a lot of people may not have known about Gwen is she prided herself in not missing a SS class in over 40 years I believe she said. What an accomplishment! Most people would expect some type of trophy I would imagine, but not Gwen. She did it to please our Lord. Even if she was sick, out of town, or when the churches were closed last year due to the virus, she would always be on the conference call or be on Zoom to participate in the class lessons. I will definitely miss Gwen too because she was so knowledgeable about the Bible. She was always able to answer the questions posed to her by Cathy, our SS teacher. Another talent Gwen had was making beautiful wreaths. I am thankful I have three different ones she made for me over the past few years that I will continue to display in my house and think of her every time I walk by them. What I regret most is not being able to say "goodbye." So "goodbye" my friend. It was a pleasure knowing you. Rest in peace and until we meet again. Melinda Calinda
- My deepest condolences to Gwen's Family. She spoke so much about you all I feel I know you. We became close when she started attending First Baptist Church in Flat Rock. She came to join her dear friend Peggy Carter and became dear to us all. She never wanted to miss Sunday School so we would do a conference call (especially in 2020) so she would never miss. It was a pleasure to know her and have her in the Rebekah Class. We told her from the beginning, like Vegas, what happens in the Rebekah Class stays in the Rebekah Class. I can still hear her giggling now. Will miss her but her memory and kindness will live on in my heart. Love and prayers to all, Cathy Fox, First Baptist Church Cathy Fox
- Aunt Gwen had the compassion and kindness of a modern saint. She was a beautiful soul. Pure visage of immeasurable generosity and charity. Her laughter, wisdom, and heart will aspire family and friends for years to come. We love you Aunt Gwen. Rest in Peace and know your life touched many souls. Alexandria Collins
- I did not personally know Gwen, but my very close friends did. They knew Gwen from The First Baptist Church of Flat Rock and loved her very much. They spoke of how beautiful and kind she was to everyone. As I read the condolences here, I see that is a common memory from everyone who knew this precious lady. Once they told me about Gwen, my family and I began to pray for her each day.. and we are continuing to pray for everyone that Gwen's beautiful love and compassion reached. Losing a loved one is never easy, but my prayers are that you will find comfort and peace in the Lord during this difficult time and know that she is dancing in fields of grace!! She finished her race! Well done!! <3 God bless you all!! ~Kathleen Klein (Friend of the Greutman Family - First Baptist Church Flat Rock) Kathleen Klein
- Teresa, a wonderful Christian and precious friend. I've known her since childhood. Teresa and I grew up on the same street. Her life was bible centered as she was raised. Teresa and her mother were the first to tell me about salvation and the bible and invite me to their church and their daily 6:00 pm devotionals time that they would have. I stood up in her wedding to James Collins a wonderful couple. And now I know she was so so happy to see him again in heaven. I know Teresa had a heart for people as she was always praying for people and during these last two years she would contact me many times and ask me to pray for her family and friends which I did. She knew the body of Christ needed each other especially in theses last days that we are living in. And I know we will all see Teresa again very soon even sooner than you think. So family and friends keep keep looking up at the sky because Jesus our blessed hope is coming. He is really comming. Ann Torres
- I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of my sweet cousin Gwen. I am lost for words at this sad time. Please know that I am thinking of you all, especially Irmy, May, and Bub, and I’m praying for God to provide comfort, peace, and strength as you all grieve. Lisha Yeary

- Gwen was my first Sunday school teacher at Shiloh Free Will Baptist Church. I still remember sitting at a little round table in her room while she taught us about the Lord! She was a great friend to me and I was always happy to see a card from her in the mail. She called me when I lost my sister. I can’t believe she’s gone. I know she’s rejoicing tonight but my heart breaks for May, Irma, and Bubby! I’m so sorry!! I’m praying for you all and I love you very much! John Robinson
