I've just found out that Our very own poet Gwyn Gill sadly passed away on 6/5/16.
She was immensely supportive to me when I was first diagnosed and I will miss her.
I think we all remember her wonderful poems that she wrote on this site, I wish I could write one that would do her justice.
Rest in peace Gwyn, my thoughts and prayers are with Tony and the rest of her family.

Such sad news again ....all our thoughts go out to family and friends .
We will miss you so much Gwyn. A smart, kind, funny lady and a wonderful friend. Xx
My condolences to Gwyn and her family . Her poems will always be a fitting tribute missed by so many
This is so, so sad. I was blessed to have become close to Gwyn over the last couple of years, I will miss her friendship, humour and wit so much. She cheered me up many a time with her kindness and her jokes, even though she went through so much herself, especially the last few months. My deepest condolences to Gwyn's family and friends. Always in my heart dear Gwyn, rest now my friend
Love Kaz xx
This is very sad news. Gwyn was a very special member of this group. I really admired the way she stood up for her beliefs, had the courage of her convictions and challenged those who tried to promote quack remedies. She showed real compassion for others. I feel blessed to have 'known' Gwyn, though we only met once in person. I hope that she found support in her faith during her final weeks. May she rest in peace. xx
So sorry to hear this sad news, rest in peace Gwyn and my thoughts are with her family xx
Such sad news, Heaven has gained a wonderful poet. My thoughts are with her family at this very sad time. Kittie

Gwyn
Mistress of Memorial
Weaver of Words
Expressing our eulogies
A voice always heard.
Complex subjects,
Plain-written lines,
Sticking to principles
Our writer of rhymes.
Pen writes, thoughts flow...
Lives measured in
Sensitivity and care.
Faith steadfast,
Always willing to share.
So now, moving on, moving on.
Another realm, another world.
Some thoughts, words, memories
Too sparkling to die
Remaining in memory curled.
Heavenwards soar, skywards spin,
A space is truly left within
By our Poetess
Our Gwyn.

Not having been on this site as long as Gwyn had, I didn't realise her full name was Gwyneth - the same as mine!
Gwen
Rest in peace dear Gwyn - I will treasure the poem you wrote in memory of my sister forever xxxx
Oh no this is really sad news. Gwyn was always there for everyone and her poems were always so thoughtful. She will be missed by many I'm sure. Sending good wishes to her family.
Gwyn ..... She touched the heart and souls of every one she met bless her . Will never forget the bottle of pop that got off the train in London in May 2013 ... She never thought of herself always of others . She would spend hours and hours getting the right poem written for the ladies on Ovacome , often in the small wee hours . Thinking of Tony , Lyndon and all the family .
