Garrett...What can I say buddy, You and your family are the most amazing people I've ever known!!! YOU are without a doubt my biggest inspiration!!! Buddy, you have SO much fight in you and that's truly incredible!! You and your family have taught me the most important lesson in life and that is to never ever give up no matter what! I promise that I will be here for you and your family whenever you need anything!!! Every time I see you Garrett you are getting stronger and stronger and you make my day. You keep fighting like you have been and I know that all your goals will be accomplished. I love you buddy...We all do! And Congratulations Parkers, you guys truly are amazing people....Colleen

Dottie, You looked great last night. I was so glad to finally see you. I can not begin to tell you how many tears I shed for you, Larry, Jordan, and Garrett over the last 3 months. It was great to see Peggy, and I was very happy so hear she has moved back to Latrobe. It's funny how everyone ends up coming back home in the end. I guess sometimes you have to re-evaluate priorities, and decide what is really important in life. Garrett, congratulations on Senior Night. You looked "gorgeous", as always. I am sure you loved all of those girls hanging all over you, and I am also sure you enjoyed seeing all of your football/school buddies. I will stop by some afternoon and visit. Take care. Love, Jody Y.

Garrett~ It was great to see you at the game last night! Everyone was so happy and excited for you! Congratulations on everything! Keep up the good work! Love, Megan P.

It was so great to see you back for Senior Night last evening. I felt so many emotions when you went on the field for you to be recognized. It is amazing how much progress you have made in these past three months. Keep your spirit, fight, and great attitude!!! - Pete S.

Garrett, I am so glad to here you are home and that you could make it to your senior night. You have come such a long way in 3 months. You are one amazing and inspirational guy. Every time I think I can't do something, I think of you and how hard you have worked. I always knew you were strong, you just proved to the world how strong you actually are. My prayers for you will continue as you take your last steps of recovery. Continue to believe in yourself as I'm sure so many people do. Parkers, you guys are an amazing family and Garrett is lucky to have such love and support, you are all so strong. Continue to stay strong. You all have a community of people behind you and that will never change. I have known you all for so long and although I haven't seen you much the past couple years, you are still like family to me. So many wonderful memories with all of you that I will never forget. I love you guys so much. I will come visit at Christmas. from Alyssa,

Garrett, It was so nice to see you on the field last night. You have made so much progress. You are truly an outstanding person who seems to be teaching so much to so many without words, but by your hard work and tremendous desire to get well. The courage that you show was obvious to all of us. I watched you on the field and looked around and saw the people in the stands on their feet clapping, and lots of happy tears streaming down people's cheeks- What a great moment for you and your family and everyone that was their to see your strength. You have many more hurdles to go, but their is no doubt that you will strive to achieve each of them. You have an awesome support team You're an amazing guy and I am very happy that I know you and your family! Theda Parke

One of the greatest moments in Latrobe happened last night~~~~Garrett was able to be a part of senior night. So deserving. Garrett although not on the field this year worked his butt off just as the whole team. He is meeting his goals one at a time and what a privilege it was for the people at the game to be allowed to share such an awesome moment. My heart goes out to you as a whole family. Simply one of the best in the town. True testament that family ties are so strong. You all are continuing to teach us daily about love and strength. Thank you all so very very much!!!!

Welcome home Garrett!!! As I walked into the Stadium last nite, I saw that everyone was standing, I was like what r they all standin up for, and then I walked a little further and I saw that you were here...you could just feel the love around you, and even though I was in the stands I could see you had a smile on ur face from ear to ear. I don't think there was one dry eye in that stadium! You should be very proud of yourself Garrett, as are your family and friends. you have done so well in these past 3 months, and the support from Latrobe is just amazing! I was sittin with the Jacksons, and Katie Richards, and as I walked up with them, they were all in tears, everyone was so glad to see you, and hope to see you more! Keep up the great work babe! And it was just amazing to see you there last nite! We are all so proud of you!! Love you lots!! Michelle Tenerowicz

Welcome home Garrett! It was so nice seeing you at the game tonight. I am glad you made it for your senior night. You are an amazing person, Garrett! Love, Amanda Eaglehouse

Garrett, what can I say! You looked beautiful tonight! As I watched our mom walk up the field I knew I was going to loose it. I cried in little tears while everyone else got announced. Then when they said your name and all of the football players lifted their helmets to you Garrett, just for you, I lost it, I cried so hard. It was so cooled it was as if the tears were burring the skin right off of my face. I know that we weren't as close as you are with others, but I still looked up to you, and to see you stand up was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a very long time. I am so proud and happy for you Garrett. You have come such a long way! Liz and I were in tears the whole time just thinking about how amazing, wonderful, and strong you are. I thank God every night for being with you and helping you in every way that he does. When I went back to the stands, my little brother, Austin, was crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said I shook Garrett's hand, and I said sweetie, that's not bad that's good he is doing so well. He told me how Jordan told you it was Austin, and you said Hi Austin and shook his hand. I was so touched by the power that you have to move people. I started to cry again. I wanted to come over and say Hi, and give you a hug, but I wasn't able to. Garrett, you are with God all the time, he loves you no matter what, I can tell in the way you have progressed. Its really a miracle. Jordan, you are such an amazing girl also. You are so wonderful to him! Garrett you are so special to have a sister like her, a family like you have, and friends like you have! You are such an amazing person! Keep it up and sooner then you know it, you'll be walking across a stage in a cap and gown, getting your diploma. I know you can do it Garrett. I love you So much and so does God! God Bless- Kaitlyn Dorko
