Garrett it just makes my day when I read of your improvements! Keep up the good work bud! Megan P.


Garrett- I am sooo happy to hear about you taking some steps! You are such a fighter! I am so proud of you. It seems every time I come to visit I always miss your next step! But that's ok! I can't wait to see next time. Hang in there. You are in my thoughts everyday! You continue to make everyone so proud! I love to hear of your improvements! Love, Sarah D!


One small step for Garrett- One giant leap for us all........................ Keep it going! You are truly amazing. Hard to believe it's been 2 months, but you are so special.


Garrett I am so glad to hear that you took your first steps today, that on top of throwing a football and talking. It brought tears to my eyes and I realized that for sure you were going to come back to us 100% okay. There are so many people who miss everything about you. We all believe in you and know that you're fighting so hard 24-7, we are working with you in praying for you and your family. You are such an inspiration to so many people, I know that you have been a huge one to me. You have made me realize that I need to quit complaining about the little stuff and work harder to get where I want to be. I know you are fighting so hard to do things while I take those things for granted. I miss you soo much and wish I could see you! Hopefully soon I'll be able to drive down there! I love you G! Stay strong and never stop fighting! Love always Liz H.


Garrett, We are SO thrilled to hear about your progress. It's been a long time since we have seen you. You may not even remember us! But we remember you and we love your parents! We offer prayers for your recovery all the time and we pray to give your wonderful parents and sister the faith, strength and power to continue on this journey. It's so beautiful to read all the comments on what a tremendous person you have turned out to be! No wonder with parents like yours! They have always been a true inspiration to us and continue to touch us even though we haven't seen you all in a long time. Keep up the wonderful work, all of you, and know you are ALWAYS in our prayers...We love you all! The Bobiches, Mike, Dawyn, Michael and Kevin


Your improvement is extraordinary. I know you'll be with us again in no time at all!! I'm pullin for ya!

CARE!.. Garrett I can't wait for you to read this and KNOW how many people care about you...it's truly AMAZING! I love ya and hope to see you soon!!...Stay Strong as always!!...Love ya so much...Ann Graham


Garrett ~ The progress you've made is incredible! I was so glad to hear you say "hi" and give me a smooch when I came down to visit with you, not to mention we got to toss the football with each other. Can't wait to see you again...hopefully this Saturday I'll be down in the afternoon. Til then buddy, you keep it up! Love You All ~ Julie D.


To the Parker Family, Seth's sister Katie just let us know how to contact you. God bless you and your family and may every day see an improvement with your son. We think of him and our nephew every day. God was surely with those two boys. Keep pushin' Garrett! Seth's Uncle Gary in Germany


Garrett~to hear of your latest progress shows me that God is working through you and your family. you have shown great strength Dottie, and your whole family has. my prayers are always with you, even though you have never met me, I have talked to your son through AIM. it is so good to hear that he is finally doing well. keep up the great work Garrett!! I wanted to leave you with part of one of my favorite verses... 'I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in Him I will trust' -Psalms 91:2 In constant prayer, tabby m.


Garrett and family ~ Two months ago today something inspirational happened to the people of Latrobe and many surrounding communities. As news of your accident traveled in so many different directions, you touched the hearts and souls of friends, family and even complete strangers. You and your family have been a testimony of inspiration to so many people. Your strong faith in God, his healing hands, your boundless love for each other and the determination to never give up on this bumpy road, have given direction and hope to many people facing obstacles on their own bumpy road. You have so many people that love you and pray for your complete recovery. Each day I read your updates and know that you will accomplish a full recovery, no doubt about it. Last week the news was “Garrett talked” and this week “Garrett walked”, all wonderful achievements on your part. One of these days, I know I’ll read “Garrett awakened and is chasing Jordy around the room for all the tormenting she did to him”. Wouldn’t that be great? Jordy, keep up the good work. Dottie & Larry, I admire you for your constant faith, strength and love you have maintained during Garrett’s recovery. We are all praying for you and your family and will continue to do so. If there is anything I can do for you at work, home, or the hospital, know I can be there in a minute. I’m just a call away. God bless all of you. Carole (KBDC)


Hey Garrett.. yeah It's Cindi again... but now I'm in my next class. Do you remember that girl that you met at Frenchville, her name is Lindsey and she hung out with us there for a little while. Well, she says hi and that she is praying for you todos los dias (every day)!.. she wanted me to pass that on to you.. so there ya go!... love ya buddy!... Cindi


hi Garrett!... sorry I haven't written you many messages. I can't wait until we can sit down and have a conversation like we used to. I have been down visiting you every weekend that I had the chance.. even though those can be limited. Whenever I was down there this weekend.. It was so much fun because I was there to see you walk. I was so excited! I have so many things to tell you that only you would understand. It is so hard not to think of you during school because so many things remind me of you. You are a wonderful person and you are an amazing guy. I'm so lucky to have a person like you as one of my best friends. I will definitely keep coming down as often as I can. One quick funny story- whenever I was down there yesterday with Ann, Dave, and John M., we left and we got off the wrong exit so we ended up in East Pittsburgh!... I could have definitely used you to be my navigator like before! haha* well, I think the bell is about to ring and since I'm in school.. I obviously have to leave! I love you Garrett and I will continue to pray for you!.. See you next week! Con Muchos Carino (With much Love)--- Cindi


Garrett, you are so fortunate in having such and extended family to support you. You have wonderful grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all praying for your recovery and supporting you physically also. God is with you and with all of them.
