Lori Ann Gardner

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I SEE THE COUNTLESS CHRISTMAS TREES AROUND THE WORLD BELOW
WITH TINY LIGHTS, LIKE HEAVEN'S STARS REFLECTING ON THE SNOW...

THE SIGHT IS SO SPECTACULAR, PLEASE WIPE AWAY THE TEAR
FOR I AM SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR..

I HEAR THE MANY CHRISTMAS SONGS THAT
PEOPLE HOLD SO DEAR
BUT THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC CAN'T COMPARE WITH THE CHRISTMAS CHOIR UP HERE...

I HAVE NO WORD TO...

Dear Markie,
I just heard about Lori on Sat. when your mom sent me a Christmas Card. I wish we would have known we would have been there. I wish you and the boys all the best. I know what you are going through and I do know how hard it is. I know that she is in a better place now. She had a long battle and she fought to the very end.
Love always
Dana Lisalda (Ball)

Dear Gardner Family,
I'm am saddened by your loss and pray for all of you during this time of sorrow.
I remember the day Lori called me to get laundry service. She was determined to figure out my number from the small photo of my van with half the phone number on it. Sure enough she was able to get a hold of me. I didn't know Lori well but whenever we talked on the phone she was always up-beat and considerate to me. I feel honored that I knew Lori.
May God bless you,
...

Mark, Nicholas, Daniel, Janelle,& Ron,
Lori was a very exceptional lady who had the strength and courage of a lion. Being a part of your family is one of the greatest experiences of my life. Your generosity and encouragement has meant more to me than you will ever know. My only regret is that I hadn't done more to show you all how much you've meant to me and my growing family. Lori and I had many long talks when she first engaged her long battle with cancer and it is because of her...

Mark ~

We are so sorry for your loss. You and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Don, Marty, Laura and Michael Krider

Dear Mark, Nicholas, and Daniel:

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die."

We love you lots.

Mark, Daniel, and Nicholas--

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all as well as the Gardner and Romiero families.

Mark,
Shonda and I wish to pass along our deepest sympathies. We came to understand your wife was as much a warrior off the field as you were on it. Proud to have competed against you and we send Gods Blessing to you and your family.

Lori was a blessing to all that knew and loved her. We will always carry her in our hearts.
Our love and prayers are with you Mark, Nicholas and Daniel.
