I am Gwen's cousin - daughter of Max and Marcella Tracy formerly of Ucon. It's been many years since I last saw Gwen and I missed my chance by not renewing our acquaintances when she moved to Idaho Falls. I live in Boise, ID and I will be unable to join you in her funeral services, but please know our prayers are with you all. Sherry Scott I wish to express my deepest sympathy. I considered it a privilege to take care of her while she was in the hospital. I will always remember her warmth and charm.
