IN LOVING MEMORY ~ MANDI GARDNER

Okay this isn't recent news but I have been meaning to post this for sometime now.

Mandi Lyn Gardner
Mandi Lyn Gardner, age 30 of Payson, was tragically and unexpectedly taken from us on Saturday, February 2, 2008. Mandi has suffered the pain of multiple surgeries and complications from a broken hip and femur this past year.

She married Travis G. Broadhead in July, 2003 and they lived in Heber. They were recently divorced.

Mandi was a wonderful and creative mother to her son, Waylon T. Broadhead, age 4. We know her heartache in leaving him behind.

She is survived by: her son, Waylon; her mother, Leona Gardner, Payson; her sister, Melanie (Jim)Olsen of Ogden; her brother, Chad (Brittney) Gardner, American Fork; her adoring nieces and nephews; Emily, Jay and Sarah Olsen; Hayden and Dylan Gardner and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends; her ex-husband Travis and step-daughter, Mercedes Broadhead of Heber.

She was preceded in death by her father, Floyd, last February. We take comfort in knowing of their joyful reunion along with Grandpa Max Gardner, Grandpa and Grandma Leon H. (Bud) and Grace Clayson and Uncle Mack.

There has been an account set up at any Zion's Bank to assist with expenses and to provide for her son, Waylon.

************
Mandi and I were Best Friends all through High School and I can honestly say that I don't have a memory from High School that doesn't include that Crazy Girl.

Two of my Favorite Pictures of she & I

While on Tour with the Dance Company we hitched a ride on Shamu at Sea World

And were also attacked by Big Foot at Universal Studios
I miss you all of the time Mandi! Every time I drive past your parents house, hear someone laugh, look at old pictures, remember something from High School and also every time I hear a song from our past. You were such a Great Friend and I wish that we would have kept in better contact with each other.

Love, Your Friend Denise
