    Selma, Len and Grant; my heart breaks for all of you. Garrett fought harder than anyone should ever have to. The accomplishments he had through all his sicknesses in his short years is nothing short of amazing. He’s surely an inspiration to many, myself included. I wish you all the love and strength to get you through the coming days and months. I will always be here for you. As I’ve said so many times…”You’ve always been there for me and I’ll always be there for you”. 💕💕💕

    Len, Selma and Grant,

    I was so sorry to hear of Garrett’s passing. I’ve nothing but sweet memories of him and Morgan as little boys rolling through my head.
    He had endured so much in his short life, but he certainly made the best of the life he had and that’s more than I can say for some of us.
    Hard as it is, take comfort in the fact that he will no more be in pain or discomfort.
    Love to you all.
