I had the pleasure of befriending Gwen while she attended the Snow Hill Ebenezer Charge. She had a sweet spirit and always greeted you with a smile. She has now gained her heavenly wings. Sleep in Peace, Sweet One. To the family, you are in my prayers; continue to lean and trust on God for peace, comfort and understanding.

I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
I felt an angel’s kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
I felt an angel’s loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
I felt an angel’s tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
I felt an angel’s silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.
Rest well dear cousin.
Gwen was a member of Mount Peace Baptist Church, here in Raleigh, NC, where we sang in the choir together. I will always remember her sweet spirit and her love for her son, Tre. Sending prayers and my condolences to Mr. Porter and the boys, and the rest of her family.
