Today we stand with the Gardner Family in mourning the passing of Lottie Gardner. To many of us she was our Pastor, a friend, a mother figure, an encourager, a confidant.

As we all begin our grieving journey, many are asking what can be done to help the family in this hard time. If you knew Lottie, you know exactly where she would want her family to go to remember, to celebrate her life and to begin their healing journey! It will come as no surprise that in her last days, Lottie expressed her desire for her family to go to Disney to celebrate her life and their memories. She also expressed her desire to see Make A Wish continue their work of sending families with life threatening illnesses to Disney as she knows the power of fun, laughter and memories. 

As such, in lieu of flowers or other tokens, please feel free to donate to one of these two causes in memory of our beloved Lottie. 

Thank you!
