To The Gardner Family: I wish to express my sincere condolence for the loss of your dear love one. During times like these, hearts are filled pain and sorrow. However, please keep in mind God's promise found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". May God take care of you during these difficult times.

To The Family of Dee Gardner - My mother was in Cone Hospital ICCU at the same time as Dee. We lost our mother on March 2nd. I am so sorry for your loss. I have never seen a man that stayed by his wife's side like you did, Mr. Gardner. We were never there for one moment that we didn't see you standing by her bedside or sitting in the waiting room biding your time til you could see her again. I knew Dee many years ago, but I didn't want to intrude on your privacy during Dee's illness. May God be with you during this time of great sorrow. My heart goes out to you and your family. Sincerely, Donna Chilton Gray

My prayers are with all of you. Dee was a special lady! She always had concerns of other than her self. I have great memories of her taking care of Granny Kallem and everyone else.
