Dear Garrett, Larry, Dottie, Jordan & family - - - We're thinking of you and praying for you daily believing that God will continue to give you the faith and strength to live each day with courage. The shadow of this tragedy is not so dark that the light of Christ cannot penetrate and bring hope and wholeness. Though patience itself is a difficult struggle, these are days in which we trust God to work out God's loving, saving purpose for Garrett and you all. In this we trust while relying on God's hand to lead and God's love to provide daily support. Our prayers for you all come with a TEXAS size hug - with love and best wishes from the Batchelder family.

Dear Garrett: My thoughts and prayers are with you for a quick recovery. Love, Great Aunt Marian, New Port Richey, FL

Garrett, I remember you always smiling when I went to the church and u always seeming to be that person that everyone went to in school when they had problems. You and your familiy are in my thoughts and prayers. Get better soon!! ~Karla~

Dear Dottie, Mom called me tonight after talking with Orrin and Carol. Please know that we are praying for Garrett and hold all of you in our thoughts. I will check the website for updates and hope that he continues to have a steady recovery. Have faith in God as he helps the doctors in their efforts for Garrett and in Garrett as he knows your love. Love, Sarah Jane

I wouldn't try to hit that jump anymore. Just kidding. Get better soon. The team needs their kicker. Strength. Casey Ritenour

Dear Garrett: there isn't anything that we could add to the prayers of those that are closest to you for they are your strength. We do wish you the best and are thinking of you. I have always heard that you're a fighter and that things don't get you down. Now, with God's help and your family and friends, you have one more battle to win. Stay strong, keep focused on getting better and know that God will be by your side through this and all the other events in your life. We know that HE will be with you as our thoughts are with you too. God Bless You and Keep You. We want to come back and see you graduate. Our best to Larry, Dottie and Jordan and to our dear friends John and Dorris. How we wish we could be with you to share our hope and support. The Stradlings - Jim, Connie and Katie in Dallastown, PA.

Garrett: Be strong. Know that you are surrounded by much love, prayers, hopes, and thoughts. Larry, Dottie, Jordan, John and Dorris: I continue to keep Garrett and all of you in my prayers...It is a difficult and painful time. There is probably no word that can really comfort or relieve from you worry and anger!! God may seem so far away sometimes. But we are here with you suffereing. I am sure God feels the same pain too. ~Eunice Yang from D.C.

I haven't left you a message since your second day in the hospital, but it isn't because I haven't thought of you because I have an often. As a family we keep posted on your progress through the church's web page. It has been a blessing. We remember you in our daily devotions and evening prayers and throughout the day as well. You are a special young man to have brought so many people of the Latrobe community and the Christian church community together for your cause. Gary, JT and I will continue to hold you and your family in our prayers. We lift our hearts to the Lord on your behalf and may the peace of Christ be with you. Cindy, Gary and JT

Heard about your accident through your Aunt Lyn. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you this very moment. God continue to make you better each precious day. Dee Moore, friend

Garrett- I still can't believe that this happened to you of all people! We've all been praying for you and your family, and that you'll make a speedy recovery! I thank God for your friendship with me! With Love Always-Nicole

My Dearest Garrett, The first time I met your Dad I was working as the Co-editor of the Latrobean; he came to school to take the candids. In the morning, we got to talking and he asked me if I knew of a good daycare, because he had an infant son and needed somebody to watch him during the day. Well, I indeed knew of a daycare because I worked at one with a wonderful caring and loving STAFF. After lunch, he brought back pictures (STACKS OF THEM) of you, and I fell in love with that adorable little face. Your parents enrolled you at KBDC and even asked me to babysit you. A few years later, Jordan came along and added to your wonderful family and our daycare one. Even though I love all the kids that have touched my life, and believe me there have been many, few leave such a lasting impression or have touched my heart like you and Jordan. I care about you very much and want you to get better soon! I know how strong you were when you were little and I know that "strong will" is still with you today. So, listen to me when I say this...Concentrate on getting better, fight hard, overcome your frustrations, love your friends and family, and let people help you or support you anyway they want. You will get through this just like you did when you played "Batman". I love you Garrett and my prayers and thoughts are with you, Jordan, and your Mom and Dad everyday. Looking forward to my next hug from you, Tina Lancianese

Dear Garrett, Larry, Dottie, and Jordan: We wanted to let you know that all of you are in our thoughts everyday. We know how strong you are as individuals and as a family, and we know that you will get through this together. All of our love and prayers, The Lancianese Family

Garrett, You are blessed with a family that will always be there for you and will help you through the coming days. We have known you since your parents proudly brought you to a Triangle meeting as a baby and have followed your growth into the fine young man you have become. Their pride in you is overwhelming. You will have many challenges in the future, but always remember you are not alone and so many people are praying for a fast and complete recovery for you. There is strength in numbers and nothing is stronger than your faith and the love of your family. This combination is unbeatable. We hope to hear more good news about you soon. Doug and Marlene Martin

Garrett...I can't wait to see you and I have prayed for you as much as possible..I miss you soo much and just hope and pray that you will be fine!!..I'll keep you in my prayers!! LOVE YA LOTS! Ann Graham

Garrett, you've been on everyone's mind for the past week. You haven't been off of mine for a minute of any day! I'm so anxious for your recovery and believe that it will come soon. I can't wait until I get to see you again. Although it's not the ideal way of doing it, it's amazing how much you have brought everyone closer together through it all. I'm so excited for when we can talk together. I miss you! -Cindi

Hola,Guido y Familia, Just a short note of greetings to all to remind you how many loving thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. We talked with our son, Scott, who lives in Atlanta. He remembers Garrett as a little boy from our church and has him in his prayers as well. Scott is a survivor of a terrible accident and has a good quality of life today because of the many prayers he received and his strong faith in God. We are keeping Garrett close in our hearts for a quick and complete recovery! Love, The Miller*s
