We all miss you very much. I love you with all my heart babe!

Hey sweetheart, well its been almost two years now, and im not going to lie. It has been a really hard couple of years. If you were still here today you would be 21. I still thinking of how we all used to hang out at hailey's and wait for the day that one of us would turn 21! We were bad kids, but those days were some of the funnest of my liftime. Ive grown up alot, but i still wish you were here to watch. I lost touch with Brett & Cody. Im not sure what's happened to them. I miss you all though.
I still talk to mom, dad & jason.
They are amazing and very strong.
But they all miss you.

I love you kidd =D
see you soon.

Well babe, you are now 20 years old. Just think one more year and you can drink legally. HEHE...But just know that I will be able to before you can. HAHA! Just kidding babe. Well, Adam finally turned 18. And him and I went outside and did a little special toast to you for your birthday since you guys do share the same birthday. I wish you could have been here to celebrate with us though. I miss you like crazy sweetheart. And you know no matter what happens in my life, or who comes into my life you will always have a piece of my heart and soul. And I will always love you! And I know you know what is going on with me now. Keep watching over your mom and dad and Jason. I miss them so much. Things just haven't been the same lately. We all miss you terribly babe.

Well, it has been quite some time since I wrote in this. It is so hard to actually believe all this really true and not some big nightmare that we will all wake up from. I always hoped that I would wake up and you would still be here with us. I miss you. It gets easy as the days go by, but it gets hard at the same time. I talk to the family as much as possible. But you would be happy to know that I am now active duty for the Marine Cops for a little while. And I am putting forth so much effort into being the best Marine I can be for not only myself, but for you as well. I love so much more now. No matter who it is. And you taught me that. As well as I live life everyday as if it were my last. Life is to short. I miss you like crazy baby. And I can't wait to see you again in those heavens of happiness and peace. I love you always.

It has taken me almost 4 months to be able to leave a message. I am still not quite sure if I want to do this yet. But I must face reality. Garland is someone I will never forget and someone who will always live in my heart. I knew from the moment we met he would be in my life forever. He was a good friend. And a good boyfriend. I loved him with all my heart. And I always will. Even though he is nolonger here with us, he lives in my heart forever. He took a part of my heart when he went to heaven. I will never forget the last memory I have with him. Two of the most important days of my life and he was there. The day I became a Marine. It was the first time I had seen him in almost two years. He hugged me so tight. And he looked so good. The next he was going back to Texas and I was going back to NY. But we kept in touch. He was the one I wanted to be with forever. And even though we can't be now, we will forever in our hearts be together. Vikki, Big-G, and Jason...you are all like a second family to me. I love you guys always!

Garland - Babe, I love you always and miss you like crazy. Don't worry about the Marines...I will be the Marine for you. And do all that I can do. XOXOXOXOXO (GUNTHER)

There are no words that can take away the heart ache. I know that you miss him everyday. I'm sorry that you have to go through this pain. We lost our daughter Meridith on May 12. Meridith and Garland went to Boswell together. I would imagine that they knew of each other, she graduated in 05. From one parent to another, the part that is the hardest is that you just miss them. To talk to them to hug them to have them right there beside you. I understand how hard it is. We are sharing in the same loss. I know God loves them and took them home. That is a comfort for us. To know that we will see them again and be with them forever. May our Father in Heaven give you comfort as only time will bring. I'm sorry that your family has to experience this as well.

Robin Petty, Meridith's Mom

I only had contact with Garland for one year when he was in my PE class at Bryson as a fifth grader. Even then he had made a mark. He had a bright personality and was a good athlete. I remember him as a good distance runner. It's a shame. To die young is to lose so much a part of life. My prayers are with you. I'm so sorry.
