My sincere condolences to Diane and the entire Garrison family. Our ties go way back to when our mothers would stay on the telephone for hours. They were the best of friends and all of you felt like family. The last time I saw Gwen she was upbeat and still handling her business at the grocery store. We were discussing the massive increase in the price of food. I know she will be greatly missed. I pray God will give the family comfort and peace, during this time of your loss. RIP Gwen!🙏 Lorraine Whitworth Jackson
