Cpl. Gardner,
It is with sadness that I read today about you and your partner's untimely deaths caused by such a cowardly act. Your courage and dedication is an example to me, for you went bravely into a situation from which most would run. My thoughts and prayers are with both families today, and I hope the happy memories carry them through the darkness until the sun shines again.

I wish that I was not so far away and could attend your services. I wish that I knew of anything I could do to ease the pain of your family and the people of West Texas, but I do not. You exemplify a hero, but you did so long before your death. You brought a smile to everyone who was around you, and you will be missed more than you ever could have dreamed. I cannot do anything except sit before this computer, look at your picture, and cry. I wish that I could do more... You will always be in my thoughts, Scott.
