Gwen Rex was so friendly and had a great personality. Our sympathy to you and the family
I am so sorry for your loss. I saw you at the oncologists and we both recognized each other but couldn’t remember where we had seen each other. I remember now! I worked at Blondeez’s Resturant running the cash register. That’s where I saw you and Rex. Thinking and praying for you and your family. Tootsie
Thank you for your kind words. He really enjoyed the food and people. You will be in my prayers
Just a great guy, worked with him on the line crew at the phone company, mid 1970.
It’s a joy to know he’s gout a new body now.
In Jesus name Amen
