We are so sorry hear about your losing this young man. I never met him. He looks so much like his grandfather, Larry, my first cousin, that it is startling. Our heartfelt condolences to all of the family, especially to Holly his mother. We haven't seen Holly since she was very young herself. Our Stroud family in Arkansas is a strong and proud family. Unfortunately, we get to see them all too rarely. All of our prayers for comfort to all of you there from us here in California to all of Garrett's family wherever they may be. God Bless You.

Our child should never go before us. For those of us who have experienced it, there are no words. Garrett was definitely one of a kind...that infectious smile, those dimples, beautiful blonde, curly hair, and most of all, his sweet and friendly personality. I loved him so much! I never saw him without getting a big hug! My heart literally aches for all of you...Holly, Brian, Tanya, Tony, sisters/brothers...I love you all! I'm always here if you need me.
