To know Garett is to love him.
A poem by Donna Ashworth titled,
“Love Came First”
“You don’t move on after a loss, but you must move with.
You must shake hands with grief, welcome her in, for she lives with you now. Pull her a chair at the table and offer her comfort. She is not the monster you first thought her to be. She is LOVE. And she will walk with you now, stay with you now, peacefully. If you let her. And on the days when your anger is high, remember why she came, remember who she represents.
Remember. Grief came to you my friend, because
love came first. LOVE CAME FIRST.”
Love certainly did come first with my sister and her son. Garett’s love follows and fills Tracy every single day. Garett’s love is a presence to be felt. Bring your hands to your heart today and feel the beat. That rhythm is the continuation of Tracy and Garett’s love. It is their song.
Carry Garett’s love today. His love refuses to leave, and what a blessing to all of us.
Let his love give your heart joy today and always. -Melissa Cooper

As we look ahead to 2026 I thought I’d reflect on those we helped in 2025. As in previous years we supported a variety of needs… equipment and mobility devices, family support during the extended rehab of a healthcare provider, replacement of basic goods after the loss of a home to fire, furnishings for a new day shelter for home insecure folks. A bit of a twist for us was the purchase of ten brand new car seats to be given to families in need of the means to protect their children. As always, we also granted a scholarship to a graduating senior from Garett’s alma mater, NDHS. Still doing great things in Garett’s name!! ♥️
We pray the gifts we gave in ‘25, and those we give in ‘26 will bless the recipients as much as the giving blesses us 🙏🏻. If you’d like to contribute to Garett’s Gift, Inc. PM us for an address. Happy New Year 😊

Today the world feels a bit muted grey.
It was thirteen years ago that we parted ways.
We still see your face in every crowd,
your laughter echoes soft and loud.
Sometimes the sun feels colder, the air feels thin.
But thoughts of you inspire us again.
Even in our lonely haze, our love for you forever stays.
We see you in our trees and skies, the open blueness of your soul.
We know you’re close and not too far away…
we still feel your love every day.
- Written with love by Melissa Cooper, Garett’s Aunt ❤️

On the hardest day of every year it helps to have friends and family reach out with love and support. Thanks to all for remembering Garett and what he continues to mean to me and all who love him. Just look at his eyes in this picture - you can see the fun, the mischief, the life and spirit and joy of him. Those things he still brings to me. Our beautiful bond grows even now ♥️🦅

12 years without you 💔 Not a day goes by that you are not on your family or friends’ mind. Continue to soar high and look over us. Your spirit and presence is still with us. In memory and honor of Garett, pay it forward today in his name or drop a memory in the comments 💙
