Elliot Jana Lee Gardner

Heavenly Birthday March 12, 2023

“Dearest daughter, please know that our greatest blessing was having you.”

Our beautiful little girl came on Sunday March 12, 2023, at 12:30 PM, weighing 6 ounces and measuring 8.5 inches long. Elle came into this world too soon and was taken too soon. She never got to take a breath on this side of heaven due to complications that arose suddenly and without expectation.

Elle is so deeply loved by her Daddy and Momma, Kyle Vincent Gardner and Emily Marie Gardner. She has two very proud big brothers, Preston Cole Gardner and Owen Cade Gardner. In addition, she is survived by grandparents William and Karen Veerkamp, and Chris and Paula Gardner, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Elle was greeted in Heaven by her grandmother Jana Kathleen Lowery Gardner, aunt Jessica Lee Jaeger, and a host of family and friends who went before her.

Services will be held privately at a later date. In lieu of contributions, please honor the memory of our sweet girl by loving without abandon and cherishing those close to you. Hug your babies a little tighter tonight.

The family would like to specifically thank the nurses and staff at Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center, Dr. Alfredo Gei, and Dr. Bruce Kone for their care and compassion.

You are so loved Elliot Jana Lee Gardner. What a beautiful season it must be in Heaven with you there. Until we meet again.
