Welcome, Greetings and Many Thanks upon your visiting, viewing and understanding of my blog as an ode and dedication to my father, the late Matthew Fondell Gardner (1947-2008), who tragically passed away in Seattle, WA USA within our home, ending a two-year battle with liver disease/liver cancer.
This blog is a dedication towards the memories, feelings, associations and memoirs of condolence, both for the bereaved, and those in the family and beyond, concerning my father's memory, life, teachings and inspirations that not only I have felt from him as his daughter, but also as a profound hero that he was in my personal life, and those in the lives of the living. This is a small but worthy attempt of generating consolence, appriciation and healing for all whom knew my father, wether as a member of my family or not, all of his friends, and mine and to also generate a strong awareness within all of our hearts and spirits that we are not alone, and that even though my Dad, Matthew is gone in body, in spirit, he will live on forever, in not only my heart, but I hope all of yours, too.

what a great tribute jamila,
i hope you send it out to different people...I can also help spread the word. Thank you so much, this is so touching.
oh..jamila, this is beautiful, heart felt and a great tribute to you dad. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

jamila- why does it have to be YOUR legacy? why can't it be entitled DAD's LEGACY? a legacy is something left after one has gone. you're still here. change the title. it makes you sound like you are pompous and selfish if you leave it the way it is... sincerely yours, your older sister, Maria Arceo Gardner
No.
How immensely disrespectful you are, Earl...
I love you so much, Mom. Thanks for the great reply.
