Gwenda took me under her wing when I arrived in New Zealand 23 years ago, and introduced me to the 100 Voice Chorale. Singing has been my salvation. Thank you, Gwenda, for your unconditional love.

My sincere condolences to the family. I remember a lovely lady the few times we saw each other. Elizabeth Armstrong, cousin Lornas daughter

I am sad to read of Gwenda's passing. I enjoyed and appreciated my brief meetings with her and John, and the wider family - my condolences to all. Best wishes Phil Sheat

My deepest sympathy to all of Gwenda´s family. I was a fellow teacher at Auckland Girls´ Grammar School and worked alongside Gwenda for a number of years, not in the Science Faculty but as a Dean. I remember how hard she worked and the absolute commitment she showed towards the senior Chemistry students and also the Overseas students. Precious memories and loving thoughts. Isobel Gillon.
