Sorry to hear this. May the Holy Spirit comfort family and friends at this time and in the days to come.

So many fond memories of Ann and Doc Garrett all the back to my childhood. Remember when they were on PolK Avenue and walking from my house, to visit them. James would always take me to the back to pet the dogs that were boarded. Good people and good memories. My condolences to you all. M J

Chuck, Melinda and family, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Ann was always such a special lady and always willing to help with all my critters. She will be missed. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers and pray that God will grant you the peace and comfort, that only he can, in the difficult days ahead. Chery Hargrove Hyde

Mrs. Ann was such an influential person in the lives of countless kids, and her forest of friends. That smile ... that laugh ... so encouraging ... she surely laughed at us and we know she laughed with us. One of the greatest blessings of growing up in Jonesboro was knowing the Garretts. That connection never ceases. I am sorry for her loss but grateful for her life, and those she loved the most. My prayers for comfort are with you.

Bob, Karen, Lillie and all the Garrett family, we are so sorry for your loss and we'll be praying for God's comfort for all of you. We know she will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

As I sit and write this, I can only think of happy memories from times spent with Charles and Ann Garrett. All of the Christmas Eve visits, the vet visits, my mom and Ann having coffee while we played, and the memories they shared with me after my parents died were such wonderful moments in my life. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a sweet, beautiful, and wonderful woman! I know that she is in Heaven with your dad now, and one day soon they will be visiting my mom and dad for a cup of coffee to catch up. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! If I can do anything at all to help make this time a little easier to bare, please don't hesitate to let me know. RIP Ann Garrett.

We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for each of you today and in the days to come! Love y’all! ??????

Keeping the entire Garrett family in our prayers now and in the weeks ahead. Both of your parents were two of the most kind-hearted, generous people in Jackson Parish. The Garrett siblings carry on that great legacy. Sending hugs to all of you! May Psalm 121 bring you much comfort and peace (Melinda shared that with me when Daddy was in ICU many years ago, and I still hold it dear.) -Stephen, Amy (Massey), Brandon, and John Davis Vessel
