To the Gardner family, With deepest sympathy to the family of a strong man of great virtue. May you be comforted in knowing that Deacon Gardner was an amazing giant of a leader, mentor and friend. I regret that I will not be present for support, I am in Dallas with my daughter. I will contact the family when I return. Remember God sits high and looks low, and now my dear friend is watching from above. I love you all, and I pray for your comfort during this time. My prayers are with you!!
