Brenda and family. I was so sad to hear of Bills illness and passing. When you lived in MD we shared many fun times & he was a good friend. I hope to share more good times some day. Take care & God bless.

John 14:16 - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

My heart is broken for the family but I rejoice in knowing that Bro. Gardner is with our Lord. He was such a huge part of my youth. He could always make me laugh no matter how upset I was, put a smile on my face when I had a frown. His smile could light up a whole room. He taught me a lot about the Bible and for that I will forever be grateful. He really was a very special, gentle and loving man.
