Our Mother taught us music at a very early age. All through school she studied voice and instruments. She sang in the Youth Choir at Green Street Baptist Church where she was baptized at the age of nine.
Gwen also loving called "Peaches" came to Louisville at the age of 4 with her mother. She attended Booker T. Washington Elementary, Meyzeek Jr. High School and Louisville Male High School. Gwen went on to continue her passion for music at Kentucky State University. She will be surely missed by all who knew her.
I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses- and the voice I hear falling on my ear the son of God disposes. And He walks with me and He talks to me, and He tells me I am his own. And the Joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.
