To Anna and Daughters. I am saddened to know that Garnett transitioned from us. My last conversation with Tutter alerted me. We knew each other from school days, with intermittent contact thro the years until his residence in North Hollywood. Our birthday was one day apart, same year. Our mothers were longtime friends. I have many photos of you and daughters and grands and I know how proud he was of his family. Please know that Garnett was special to me. My condolences and prayers to you.

May heartfelt sympathy goes out to my Aunt Anna, beloved cousins Ariana and Miranda and the Brown family and extended family.
I will look forward to see his great compositions and extraordinary musical and film arranging again in the spirit realm where we will reunite, until then I will continue enjoy what he created and blessed us to hear on earth.

Love, Allie Freeman 3, ( Greta)and family (Paryn,Alexis, Allie 4, Arin and Garin)
