Farewell to Gwen

These snippets from the Commune Life and Twin Oaks Facebook pages say it all:

Things are very somber at Twin Oaks right now. A teenager, raised at Twin Oaks, was killed in a tragic accident. She was buried at Twin Oaks yesterday and there is a memorial service today in Charlottesville, a nearby city, where she was also raised.

FAREWELL GWEN. Almost 200 members, ex-members, family, and friends, gathered on Memorial Day to remember, share, grieve, and say farewell to much-loved Gwendolyn Tupelo.Gwen was buried in Twin Oaks graveyard. All who wished to speak did so, Quaker-meeting style. All who wished to do so helped fill in her grave. A candlelight vigil was held there late into the night.She will live on in our hearts. @ Twin Oaks Community
