Mackenzie Gardner Obituary

Dear Gardner's, I remember meeting Mackenzie and remember how beautiful she was. I am glad you had for for the time you did and I am so sorry for your loss. When you see her in Heaven, you will never lose her again. God Bless You. Patrick (Worth's dad)

Marla, Brian, Carson and Emory:
We love you all. We are so thankful to have been blessed to have known and loved this angel. Now she is among many, many angels. Our love and thoughts are with you all.

Dear Marla and Brian,

I was deeply grieved to hear of the loss of your daughter. Please know, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Marla and Brian: Just heard of your loss and wanted to express how much I know your heart is hurting. I remember when I came to paint the Kids room in 2000 and sat in the floor playing. It seems only yesterday and I can truthfully say, I know how you feel after losing my 18 yr son, Joe, to Leukemia... God will help by giving you TIME to help ease the pain, and rounding off the sharp edges so all can cope with our loss and memories, while each day getting stronger. Even being blessed with other children, the void is still there and one child nevers replaces another; but it gives you such comfort and keeps you wanting to live for them. Joe was an only child and I thank God he gave me Jofy, a wonderful caring husband to be by my side. Be there for each other for comfort and remember that you are richly blessed by enjoying two more beautiful children to show your love to. Just remember that God gives them to us as a gift, for a purpose, and calls them back when he feels that they have done what he put them here for... that is what we are all here for, and Mackenzie did just that, and she is in the best hands she could ever be in, the Lord's.

Remember that no amount of earthly treasures can be as great as your children, husband, wife and family. Don't forget that they hurt just as badly as you do, only in a different way. Please talk to your husband, wife, family and others about this loss, as it is the only thing that keeps you sane and going on with your life. Do not shut out the people that love you and want to let you know that they too, hurt. God gave you tears to wash the hurt away and IT IS OK TO CRY...even in public and with others... they feel your pain and will cry too, because they love you! I felt like God dipped me like an M&M and I was coated with the shield of Jesus, until I could handle the shock! As I grew stronger, I could handle more and now, I know it was for the best, as I could not stand to see my Joe suffering. Mackenzie's life has changed so many people in her path in such a wonderful way... even in her youth, her impact on everyone was unbelievable. She didn't have to be wealthy, smart, famous, or healthy to do it!

God knows when we will take our last breath, even before we do it, so we should live accordingly and make the most of everyday with the ones that mean more than anything--our loved ones. This is my prayer for your family; YOU WILL LIVE LIFE SO FULLY THAT EVERYONE WILL GROW AND PROSPER FROM YOUR STRENGTH AND WALK WITH THE LORD!..
Our love and prayers and please call or email us if you ever feel the desire to "just talk", as we really do care! Jennie & Jofy Moore

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP:
I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP.
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW. I AM THE DIAMOND'S GLINT ON SNOW. I AM THE THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENING GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN'S RAIN. WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING'S HUSH, I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.
I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT. DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY: I AM NOT THERE. I DID NOT DIE!

SHE LIVES! Just look for her!

Please email me, love, Jennie

Mackenzie Gardner was such a sweet girl. She was intelligant beyond compare, and she could never ever hurt someone. Her intentions were always good, and her teachers and classmates loved to have her around. Mackenzie was a friend of mine from 5th grade and I trully almost fainted when I heard the news. I hope she's gone someplace better, and may she rest in peace.
R.I.P Mackenzie.
We love you.

Brian and Marla,
I was very grieved to hear that little Mackenzie had passed away. Chris had told me many stories of her courage and sweetness of disposition. I was glad to get to see her last year at Carter-Finley. The Wolfpack faithful have lost one of our cutest and most precious cheerleaders. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Mackenzie.She was so sweet. May god be with you in your time of sorrow.

Brian & Marla,
There are no words I can find to sufficiently articulate the grief and sorrow felt here over Mackenzie's loss. Your daughter was a shining spirit with courage that most of us will never know. That spirit will always be part of your beautiful family, and shines already through Carson and Emory (and Wolfie too). They are true blessings, happy and healthy!!

We love you guys a lot; we're here for you, in prayer and in support each day as you clear this hurdle and move on.

As we continue to fight our personal battle against C/F, we will do so every step of the way in Mackenzie's honor.

God Bless,
Lori, Roger and the kids

To the Gardner Family,
Words can not even begin to express our deepest sympathy. I had the honor of meeting your precious child at my daughters bowling birthday party last year. She will be truly missed. I hope all of your happy memories will help you through this.

I did not know Mackenzie personally, but I work closely with Karen Aman. And I know how much Mackenzie meant to her and how special a little girl she clearly was. My heart goes out to all of you who loved her. I tend to believe in reincarnation; so, I think Mackenzie will come back and make a huge contribution to the world then. She obviously already did in the life she just lived. I hope I come back and get to meet her the "next time".

From everyone in the clinic we are so sorry for your loss. We will never forget you and what wonderful parents you guys are. The love and care you gave Mackenzie and to all of us means so much. Just know we are thinking of ya'll

Mackenzie would have been a student in my homeroom and science class this year. I did not have the pleasure of ever meeting her. From all that I have heard about her, it is truly my loss. I am so sorry. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Peace be with you.

Gardner family -
I was deeply saddened to hear about Mackenzie. She was the most respectful, awesome, and brave girl I have ever known. Mackenzie was one of the kids that really motivated me to do what I do, and she will be missed deeply by all of us.

Gardner Family,
I remember Mackenzie from 1st grade. We were pretty close. I'm sorry for your loss. We are planting sunflowers on the nature path in front of Pinckney in memory of Mackenzie. We'll all miss her.

Gardner family, We are deeply saddened by the news of Mackenzie's passing. She was such a beautiful girl (reminds me of her mother) and has two beautiful sisters. I know her lovely spirit is shining on you all during this sad time. We are praying for strength for all your family. Much love and hugs to all of you.
