    I have been working with and for Gyneth for the past few years and she will be dearly missed at Mountain Glen.
    We’ve had some very deep conversations and she’s helped me through a few problems in that time. I’ve very sad
    she is no longer with us, but happy she is no longer in pain and is hopefully watching over those she loved now.

    Gyneth was a blessing to us both and we always enjoyed our visits with her. We loved her and considered her a dear friend. Our memories of times shared are a treasure to us. With loving thots.

    I had the privilege of getting to know Gyneth when I worked at Mountain Glen. What an inspiration she
    was to me! She was a sweet and wonderful woman with a strong faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. She was
    a woman of great inner strength and courage to persevere with difficult physical challenges. I know that
    she is in Heaven now and free from physical suffering. What a joy to be in the presence of Jesus
    forever!

    Gyneth was a good friend of my Mother, Maryellen Brown, when they were both living at Mountain Glen. She actually saved my Mother’s life when she realized she had not seen her for several days. She notified the staff, who found that my Mother had pneumonia and transferred her to the hospital. I was always grateful for that. I visited Gyneth at Mountain Glen over the last few years and will miss her.

  • Patty Taylor Williams

    I have fond memories of your mom working together at the Lumber Yard. One think I will never forget was the look on her face when she went to the bathroom and discovered a sewer rat swimming in the toilet. Her love for her family and care of your dad was exemplary. I also remember when the grandkids were born, she was so delighted for you both. she taught me how to be a good boss, by her gentle, kind personality. She leaves a legacy of love and care that we can all learn from. Sorry for you loss, she was one very nice person.

    Dear Clive and Diane and family
    My sincere deepest sympathy for the passing of your mother. I know she has been in poor health for a long time. I used to stop in for a visit in the office of Copeland Lumber in 1966 when I was recovering from a back fusion and needed a rest from my walking every morning. Your Mom and Fran Robbins were there and we used to have some good laughs and stories. They would put me to work stuffing the envelopes with invoices.
    It was a lot of fun and saved my sanity during the back recovery. And your father would come in and say hi too.
    That was the time my Dad worked at Copeland too. I would also see Guy when she would come in to the medical office for an office visit.

    She loved her family and I know it was demanding energies on your part as you being the only child. We are dealing with the same issues as well. Keith was an only child too so we had Avis at Mountain
    Glen 2003-2003.

    Take care of yourselves now and know your Mom had good care. Your Mom is in a better place now without pain and suffering.

    Warmest Regards
    Karen Halgren
