Condolences

Condolence From: Barbara King
Condolence: I am so thankful for Dr. Gardner > his dedication to the Lord, his kindness and wisdom, and so much more. He was a big help to me when I came to Ozark Christian College as a transfer student, and I am unable to forget > he was so kind in doing so. I admire his perseverance as he endured the various health struggles in life. I am thankful for his wisdom as he taught at Ozark Christian College (I had him as a professor) and I know he taught in other settings as well.

I am praying for Barbara, the kids and grandkids in the days to come > for comfort, etc. Barbara has often been an encouragement to me over the years too.

May all of you continue to feel the ever present comfort of His hand.

Condolence: To the family of Brother Gardner:
We extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. We learned so much from Brother Gardner, about God's word, about kindness, about perseverance... We are eternally grateful for the great impact he had in our lives! Even in sorrow, we rejoice, with you, that Brother Gardner is with our Lord and risen Savior, Jesus Christ, and we look forward to the day when we will all, once again, be together, with him, and with our Lord. Until that day, may all the good memories fill your hearts with love and joy. And may the good Lord, grant you peace and comfort through this difficult time. We send our love, in Jesus name.
Kurt & Delberta Fluharty.

Condolence From: Shirley Steen Woolsey
Condolence: Gardners and Steens have been connected since 1960 when Barb and my sister Sue were room mates at OBC, and they married brothers from Indiana. We've followed Lynn and Barb's trajectory from afar, so appreciating their relentless pursuit of God! From all the Steens, our love and sympathy.

Condolence From: Kevin Moyers
Condolence: One of my favorite teachers at OCC...Hermeneutics. Apologetic. Life of Christ. I remember one time I was working on a paper in the library and he stopped to talk to me, asking me what I was doing, and then he went and found a few resources for me that would be helpful in my paper writing. Always so personable. I went on a weekend trip with him as he presented his presentation on apologetics to an Oklahoma church. I loved Brother Gardner.
