We just learned of Garrett's passing. So sorry for your tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you from Adam, Tammy, Nick and I. Although I did not know Garrett, I cannot begin to imagine what it would be to have the loss of a child/grandchild. May the precious memories you have from his short life always continue to remain with you and to help you through.

I had the privilege of teaching Art to Garrett at Thomas Jefferson. He was a wonderful student. He was smart, kind, funny and well liked by all. I especially remember his great sense of humor and how he would always make me smile. I remember that he drew a self portrait in charcoal that was especially exceptional. He will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
