Deepest sympathy to the Gardner Family. Mrs Gardner was and always be a true Fallser. She was the most generous and kindness to person to everybody she met and touched many hearts.
Deepest sympathy to the Gardner family. Growing up around the corner from the Gardner family , Conrad St. / New Queen St. Mrs, G was like a second mother who cared about you. She cared about the neighborhood and especially cared about all the kids. When you were in her company you felt her caring and friendship. Rich, Kelly, Tony, Matt & Andy and the Gardner family heaven has has a new angel. Thinking of all off you.
Sincere sympathy to the Gardner family. My last meeting w/ MaryAnne (several years ago) was a very memorable one on our school days and friends of St. Bridget’s and East Falls. Rest in Peace, dear friend. Ave Harkins Glancey
