Seems so cruel to see those positive posts and then Gwen lose her fight. Must have been such a dreadful shock for her family.

Very sad news for all of us. A lovely lady who loved to help others with their research.

I've sat and read all my Facebook messages going back to 2011 where Gwen has shared her wealth of information to help with my family tree.

The world has lost a wonderful and generous woman today.

May you RIP Dizzi and you will be sadly missed.

I went everyday onto her thread Roll Call and laughed at all her antics. She tried so hard to stay positive. The last 2 days she had a mobility scooter and was enjoying going out. She wanted to stay mobile as long as possible.

I am so shocked but at least she was having fun the last couple of days.

Oh Dizzi we'll miss you and your threads, you touched so many lives. Out of pain now, RIP.

Sincere condolences to family and friends. A special lady was Dizzi.

I met Gwen at several London meets and she was a zany lady who loved to laugh.

She was so pleased to have got her mobility scooter and enjoyed her test run and was looking forward to getting out on it

She had said she wasnt feeling too good too in the last few days but to see she has passed is such a shock

You will be missed Dizzi , RIP dear lady

My condolences to her family and friends on the loss of a very special lady

Oh this is a shock.

She was really down just over a week ago and when she got her mobility scooter,I thought she would feel much better getting about more.

She has been very brave and retained her sense of humour ,even though she has been suffering with PD for a few years....

Purple has just reminded me of her old board name of Dragonfly.
She is out of pain now..but this seemed so sudden.

R.I.P Gwen and my condolences to her family.

So sad to read this. Dizzi was like an institution on these boards and she will be sorely missed bless her.

Although I did not know Dizzi as well as other members did, I feel that this sums her up in some small way.


Miss me, but let me go

When I come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the master's plan,
a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.

At peace.

Oh my goodness! As so many other posters have said, it's such a shock.
She'd posted about her various health problems, but nothing to suggest that this would happen.

Her family must be devastated. My thoughts and sympathy to them. <3
