Guest Book

I met Mrs. Gardner many years ago through my friendship with Andrew. I will never forget her warm personality, her exceptional sense of humor and beautiful smile. She was very generous with her showing immediate love and spoke to me as if we had known each other for years!! One thing that stood out was....she loved her dear son Andrew!! That always will last and will be of great comfort for many years to come. Always....Dr. Michael Ward (St. Louis, Missouri)
