It is very difficult at this time for me to write this, as I have lost one of my favorite cousins. I will miss him dearly. Tim has always made me proud to be part of the Gardner family. He was always so upbeat and always there with a joke. My dad felt a very special bond with Tim and was always cutting out jokes and comics to send to Tim through Margie.
Sarah Winters, Melinda, Lura, and Jennifer, I am so very sorry for your loss and if there is anything that we can do for you please let me know. Margie, I know the special bond that you had with Tim and I am so sad knowing how much you will miss that.
Tim will now get to see all of our beloved Gardner family members that have gone on before him, especially Aunt Virginia and Uncle Nelson. I am sure that they are all singing praises up in heaven right now with Tim.
