I would like to say to the family and closest friends of Gwen that my prayers and thoughts go out to you all. I knew Gwen at Muskegon High School and we graduated together. I just learned of her passing today and was deeply saddened. We did not keep in touch after high school. We went our separate ways but I felt she would always be a positive inspiration to all those who lives she would cross.

My thoughts of Gwen is that she was a positive and heart-warming friend in high school. She always made me laugh and was a joy to be around. She was a positive and strong woman who did not waver in her beliefs and convictions. I only have fond and positive memories of her. May she rest in peace.##imported-begin##Denice Sherrod-Kough##imported-end##

So many happy thoughts of Gwen came to my heart when I heard of your loss. Gwen and I were class mates at Muskegon and we had many good times. No one could ask for a better friend! I only wish we had stayed in touch more often in the last 30 years. She has always been close to my heart and will always remain there. My prayers go out to you, God bless.##imported-begin##Kim King (Plummer)##imported-end##

I met Gwen Walton about 9 years ago, I found her easy to warm up to, she was cordial and pleasant. Gwen had a great sense of humor I always enjoyed talking to her. Gwen possessed a myriad of positive attributes. Gwen's nature was one of integrity, she had an honest personality, she was professional, respectful and took her work seriously. Gwen seemed to have a six sense about her that enable her to navigate complex issues proficiently.
Gwen was an asset to the Grand Valley Community, not only have we suffered a great loss, but the loss of such a good and decent human being is a loss to the whole world. I grieve not only for myself, but for that fact alone. I will miss Gwen immensely.##imported-begin##Beverly Moore##imported-end##

My deepest sympathy to Gwen's family. She was an inspiration to us all and I will always treasure my memories of her.

~ FRIENDS ~

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.

God had blessed me to have known Gwen for the past 18 years. She was truly an inspriration to me as well as the students and faculty here at GVSU. I will always remember her as a person who treated people as if they were what they had ought to be, and was always willing to help them to become what they were capable of becoming. Gwen, I am already missing you. Much Love.##imported-begin##Peggy Moore##imported-end##
