Andrew Gardiner
It is with deep sadness that we have to inform you that our minister, Andrew Gardiner, was promoted to glory on the evening of Wednesday 28th March 2018. Andrew passed away peacefully at home in Plymouth, surrounded by his loving family.
A thanksgiving service was held on 16th April.
Katherine commented: My children and I were absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing Thanksgiving Service for Andrew, on Monday evening. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed in any way, you are all incredible people. We were totally shocked with the fantastic number of people who came to the service and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. We felt so loved and supported. Thank you too for all the cards and messages that we have received over the last three weeks. It has been so comforting to know the huge impact that Andrew had on the lives of so many. What a privilege I had in being his wife. May God bless you all. Xxx
