To the Garrett family,
I only met Mrs. Garrett a couple of times, when she joined Dr. Garrett (probably my favorite professor) for events with his students at NMSU some 20 years ago. The love they shared was positively glowing, and was an inspiration for all of us as to how we'd hope our lives would be. Please accept my many condolences to your family at this time.

Please acccept our condolences and know our prayers are with Nancy, Edgar and you. Nancy and Edgar were the first to greet us when we moved in the neighborhood. Nancy was always kind and warm in her welcoming ways.
God bless and keep her close.

Dear Maggie,
I remember well how your mom and dad welcomed me as one of your new friends in seventh grade. They were both wonderful and supportive from that day on. I remember admiring your mom's weaving at Young Park one year, and trading macrame techniques with your dad. My prayers are with you and your family.

To the family of Nancy Garrett,
My condolences go out to each and every one of you. I got to work with Nancy at Mac Arthur Elementary. She was a wonderful lady that never gave up. Just the other day I was thinking of her and how strange that today when I pulled up the obituaries her name appeared. I am greatly sadden by this. She touched many childrens hearts and knowing this may it comfort each and everyone of you!

arthur Elementary. I stil remember her, as if it was yesterday. my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mrs. Garrett. I was also a student at MacArthur. Although I was not a student of Mrs. Garrett's, I always remember her saying hello and knowing my name. She was always so kind and showed her love for all of the students at MacArthur. I only hope that as a teacher, I can show my students as much as she showed hers! God Bless all of you during this difficult time...but know she has touched so many lives and that will allow her to live on forever.

Family of Mrs. Garrett, she was my dear teacher while a young girl at McArthur school in the mid 1970's. She along with Mrs. Glover were my most memorable and most caring teachers I have ever met. I am deeply saddened by your loss. God Bless you all.
