Gwen specifically said that if anyone was kind enough to want to donate in her memory, she wanted the donations to go to Gracie Belle's Fund, which helps with vital expenses for her many trips to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. A collection box for cash will be available at the crematorium and the wake.
