Why is Gwen Stacy at the funeral?

Why is Gwen Stacy at the funeral? - Silhouette of Graves

At the end of Spider-Man 3, Gwen Stacy is seated prominently among the first row of mourners at the funeral of Harry Osborn. Why? We've seen no sign up to this point that the two had ever met, and there's reason to think they never had. They didn't go to high school or college together, and they never dated. In his brief heroic stint at the end of the film, she was never in peril and he never saved her. She was, as far as we know, a stranger to him.

A student in Peter Parker's university class in Spider-Man 2, portrayed by Ellen Pompeo, is identified as Gwen Stacy in the film's novelization. - wikipedia

Here is the novelization if you want to look.

In comics Gwen knows a lot of people from Peter's life and she had more prominent role, but in Sam Raimi's films, her role was cut short. And why Sam did that is discussed in this question.

Does Gwen Stacy come back to life in no way home?

Even though we did not see Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: No Way Home, It's likely that she has returned alive and well after the Multiverse collapsed. Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the return of the villains from the previous Spider-Man movies, who earlier died fighting with Spider-Man.

What did Green Goblin do to Gwen Stacy?

The Green Goblin abducts Peter's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, and lures Spider-Man to a tower of either the Brooklyn Bridge (as depicted in the art) or the George Washington Bridge (as given in the text). The Goblin and Spider-Man clash, and the Goblin hurls Stacy off the bridge.
