I'm sorry Glenda that I have only today heard about the death of your son. While I didn't personally know Garrett, if he was anything like you, the world has lost a compassionate and giving soul with a passion for life. There are no words that can provide the comfort you so dearly need, but trust that our hearts reach out to you.

To Garrett's family,
I only worked with Garrett for therapy a few months this summer, but taught me things about a human being's will to persevere, to face fears and adversity with grace, and to face each day on your terms despite the limits of mind and body.
For those moments that we shared, in spoken conversation (and alot of unspoken communication!), I'm quite grateful. My thoughts are with you.

When you lose someone that you love, its good to finally be able to laugh at something they said, rather than cry because you miss it all so much.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Garrett was an amazing young man. He will always be loved and missed.

To the Chipperfield family,
You may not remember us.That's ok, we remember all of you from New Windsor Little League quite a few years ago. We are so sorry that Garrett lost his courageous fight and can't imagine how you are all coping. Please know that Garrett and the whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. Today was the American Cancer Society Walk for a Cure- you were all thought of often during the walk. God bless all of you. Stick together.
Much love,
