To the Gardners,

Our deepest condolence to your family. Our prayers are with you.

Tammy was a very special lady and we will always remember her kindness and support during our time of need. She was full of love for everyone and she will be terribly missed. She showed her love for Christ through her actions and we know that she was a perfect example for others to do the same.

We know that her life was short, but her life left a lasting impression. She will be missed, but

we know that one day,we'll see eachother again in Heaven.

God is smiling at her this very moment. God Bless!
