Dear Garret, I have been meaning to write to you since the first day of school but for one reason or another it just hasn't happened. I just wanted to let you know that everyone at school misses you and we can't wait to see you on your feet again. There is a feeling of something missing at school this year without you. You are one of the only people in our school who will go out of your way to get along with everyone else and I miss seeing you in the halls greeting everyone as they come in in the morning. It is not the same without you. You and your family are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. You are such a strong person and an inspiration to us all. Keep fighting We love and miss you. Kayla Kline
Wow, this is the first time I've written in here. I miss you all dearly, and esp. miss see your large improvements Garrett. Larry, Dottie, and Jordy my prayers are with all of you. I know I don't have to say this but, continue to be strong. Larry I miss talking to you, and I miss joke time! Dottie I miss you wonderful love, and appreciation. Oh Jordy what can I say about you, I miss it ALL, your one heck of a kid! And lastly, but not least Garrett I miss everything man. From having you squeeze my hand, to cracking my back (hum, you were the only one that did it perfect!). I can't wait to see you a lot. Lots and lots of love and prayer~ Sara Lucente P.S. Larry if your reading this I want you to get your left arm and put it across your chest to your right shoulder, then put your right arm across your chest to your left shoulder, then squeeze! <--that's me hugging you.
Dear Dottie, Larry and Jordan, It is so good to know everyone's prayers are being answered and Garrett is making progress. It is wonderful to get on the website and see how he is doing today. You are all in our prayers daily, and we have faith that God will enable Garrett to recover in the time and way that are best for him. And Garrett, keep fighting to get better! You have such a strong and vital spirit, we know you will be back with all your friends and family soon! We all love you and pray for you every day. Pam, Tim and Cady Walter
Parker Family...I am so glad to hear of Garrett's improvements, he seems to be doing very well. I am down in North Carolina, but I still check the website and pray for him everyday. I am so glad I got to see him before I left for school, I couldn't leave until I saw him and all of you. Seeing Garrett's strength and your strength gives me the courage to get through my classes. Every time I have a bad day and think I want to go home, I think of all of you and know that I can do it. Jordan, I hope that book helped...have you read it to Garrett? Let me know how it's going (allycat345@aol.com or 724 454 6411, if you have time)! My prays and thoughts continue, and I know that you will all make it through this! Garrett, keep up the fight. May God bless!~love, Alyssa Tomsey
Garrett, you were great this morning in your Occupational Therapy, rolling on the mat, wiping your face with a washcloth, finding your mouth, nose and hair. These are all great steps forward. You make us so proud of you. As we have told you, God and your strong faith will pull you back to recovery. I will read the bible to you again the next time I come in, as it seems to calm you. You are loved far more that you will ever know, by people that you have yet to meet, as well as those of us who know you so well. Love you, Baba and PopPop.
Garrett, Dottie, Larry, & Jordan, Just a quick note to let you know that I think of all of you everyday, and pray for Garrett's recovery. It is wonderful to read about Garrett's progress, and I love reading the messages from all of his teammates, friends, and teachers. I can not tell you how many times they have made me cry, as their love and caring come through in their messages. I hope to be able to see all of you soon. Love, Jody Yunetz
Garrett~ I have visited and revisited your web page every day since it has been posted. Tragedies have a funny way of pulling people together. I want you to know how lucky you are to have so many wonderful people in your life. I never realized just how many people cared about me until a couple of years ago when tragedy struck my life. I decided just a few days after someone broke into our home that I wanted to go to church. The amount of love I received from our church that Sunday completely overwhelmed me. The feeling I got made me feel better than I ever had. At that moment I realized that everything happens for a reason. I heard that saying time and time again but never really believed it. I feel that my tragedy brought me closer to the church, my family, and my friends. Just like your accident is doing for you. When you finally get through all of the emails, prayers, and little notes everyone has left for you, you will understand exactly what I mean. Until then, just know that you are so very close to all of our hearts. Love, Jill Kelly
Garrett- Hey bud...I was thinking about you and figured I would leave another little message...It's the closest thing to seeing you and talking to you...Garrett..I always think about how I used to pick on you saying that I'm stronger...although your muscles are bigger...but I now know that you are soo much stronger...because I probably wouldn't make it through it. So I guess we can say that you are the power house?..haha..I think of all the times that we got to share together before this accident...we had soo much fun..water skiing..EATING(cookies)..Garrett you were always there to talk to when I needed you and I know that you still are if I need you..but I will also always be here for you too buddy...I hope to get down to see you this weekend...I miss ya bud and love ya tons!!..-Ann Graham
