The Garrett Family,

I was so saddened to hear about Dalta. My grandson Sean Flynn was a friend of Dalta's in the AFROTC at Auburn. I cannot even imagine the pain your family is going through. Please know that you all are in my daily prayers.

My heart ached for Ruth when I returned from 4th of July weekend and heard the news of your precious Dalta.  I have the pleasure of working with Ruth and I know all too well the pain of the loss of a child.  My son, Gerran, was killed by a drunk driver the day before he was to begin his senior year of high school.  There really are no words to say that can make a real difference.  We are praying for you and your family as you walk through this tragedy.  I am happy to know that you all know God and have hope in Him.  May God hold each and every one of you in the palm of his hand and provide comfort and peace only He can provide.

To the entire Garret Family, I entend my deepest sympathies, sincere thoughts and prayers to you during your time of grief.  I never had an opportunity to meet Dalta, but as a member of our Auburn Family, we weep with you.  GOD thoughts and plans, are not ours.  HE knows what lies ahead, and will give you Grace, Mercy, and Strength to endure the painful times.  Please continue to focus on the great memories you've shared, and please know that so many of our Auburn Alumni are praying for you and with you.

GOD Bless, and WAR EAGLE!
Barbara

Garrett family, 
We were so inspired by the memorial service for Dalta. We didn't know her well at all, but feel like we do now. We were inspired by her life--her ability to see the person of Christ in people and to encourage them on their way. I hope and pray that the way she lived will have inspired us all to live such lives--especially our children. What an example she was! We all felt extremely edified by the service. I can't think of a time I have been more affected by the memorial of anyone. We continue to think of you and pray for you.

Dalta and I had several classes together last semester. I didn't know her that well, but without fail, every time she sat next to me or saw me in the morning she would always smile and say good morning. I will miss seeing her, and I am praying for you, her family.

Praying for you.  So sorry to hear about your daughter.  I lift you up in prayer.  God is with you

My wife and I visiting Auburn from Texas came upon this tragic accident shortly after it happened.  My wife and I knew it looked bad.  We are grief stricken to know that the young person so tragically taken from this life is your daughter who was attending Auburn, a place that attracts family and is called "the loveliest village on the plains" for a reason.  The picture of your daughter emphasizes my point.  Our prayers and sympathy are with you.  May God show his grace and comfort to your family always.

The Garrett Family,

I was blessed to be in the presence of Dalta Garrett at Girls State in 2009 and as a fellow student at Auburn University in the College of Engineering. Everytime I would see her she would always have a smile on her face; it never failed. She really brought joy to everyone's heart with her kindness and love. She will be greatly missed and Dalta is a true angel. My prayers are with you.

May God comfort you all and give you peace durning these difficult days and weeks to come! She sounded like a young woman who Knew Our Heavenly Father, and that's great! I will be praying for your family daily. She is rejoicing with Her Heavenly Father!

Vivian and family, we are so sadden to hear of your lost but are praising God for heaven's gain.  As our little granddaughter said when your dad passed away"he is in heaven with Pop(Cecil Lane) helping count cows,  I know she is beside them maybe not counting cows but sitting in the light of their Savior and singing praises.  God bless your family.  Brenda and Tommy Lane

I didn't know Dalta but I just read about her in the paper. I am a mother of two older tennage boys & cant imagine the pain. It looks like it would have been very easy to have filled several pages in the newspaper with her wonderful accomplishments but they had to stop somewhere.  Somehow, reading that and then reading what the people who knew her said really makes me very sad for her family. When someone like Dalta passes, even though I am a faithful believer, it's just hard to accept. It seems like we all needed her here awhile longer. Seems like she was already an angel running around on Earth.

Garrett Family,
Dalta was such a sweet young lady that I got to know through the AL 4-H program. I was so very saddened to hear of her accident. I will remember Dalta's sweet smile, and her love for helping others. May God bless you during your time of sorrow, and may you feel the peace in the coming days, months and years that only He can provide.

Bill, Vivian and Family,

Although words cannot even begin to express our sorrow, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God be with you.

Bill, Vivian & girls, our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you.  May the loving arms of Jesus be your strength & hold you close.

There is only one source to find peace in such times but we wnated to express our sympathy and let you know our prayers are with you.

my deepest condolences are with u and your family.

Dear Bill and Vivian,

We were so saddened to hear about Dalta.  Our son, David,  was a friend of Dalta's in the AFROTC Detachment at Auburn University.  We can not even imagine the pain you are feeling but, we want you to know that we are lifting you up to our Lord Jesus Christ in prayer.  May He provide you with the strength and love that only He can provide.  Dalta was a beautiful young lady that touched so many lives and will be missed.  May you find comfort knowing that she is now with The King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus Christ.

Much Love in Christ,

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

We loved Dalta like our very own, she will always be dearly cherished by our family.

Our family sends our love and prayers to you, knowing that your comfort and strength will come from the Lord and the strong love of each other.

Bob & I were filled with sorry upon hearing of Dalta's death    We know your loss is as devastatimg as ours was.  The Lord had & has her in His arms.  God Bless you & your family. Bob & Charlotte Brunner

Our hearts break for you and may you find comfort in the words of our Savior,"Come to Me, all  you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," (Matthew 11: 28).

Dalta was a good friend to our son, Aaron. They were in Auburn's ROTC together. When he heard of her passing, he was devastated. We are so sorry for your loss and the loss of a great friend to our son. She will be greatly missed! We will be praying for your family during this difficult time. May God's peace and comfort surpass all understanding.

I read about Dalta today and eventhough I don't know her or her family, I am TRULY SORRY for your loss.  Alot of people say things about your loved one being in a better place and that's totally true, BUT that does not make it any easier on those that Dalta left behind here on earth.  I'm praying for the Entire Garrett Family!  May God Bless you all!  Dalta was a Beautiful Young Lady!  I know she was Very Smart & Very Intelligent also!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.  May the Lord give comfort to you and your family and know that Dalta is in His loving arms.

We are sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family. May the Lord  comfort and strengthen you during this time. Former HCS family

Dear Bill & Vivian & girls, my heart goes out to you all at your loss of Dalta.  This tradegy is a reminder to me of just how fast our life here can suddenly end.  I can personally think of numerous times I came so close to departing this world.  God spared me for reasons that are His own.  Why he called Dalta to be with him we will know down the road but she knew Christ as her Lord and savior and is presently more joyfull than she has ever been in her life.  Time will heal but we will never forget her.

Dear Vivian, Bill, Sabrina, Joan, Ruth and Deborah,
Spencer told us about the accident.  The three of us are in shock, so we cannot imagine how you feel.  In time, somehow, you will be able to say, "I will praise the Lord at ALL times; and bless His Holy Name".  I always felt Dalta could rule a small country, so perhaps the Lord needs her to help us and our country on a "higher" level, interceding for us before the Throne of Jesus.  Maybe He needs her to run a host of angels right now, too. If anyone can, it's Dalta.  Count on our prayers for your family. Your family in Christ, Adrianne, Thom and Spencer Price

Vivian, Bill and Family,
Please know that you are in my prayers.  May the Holy Spirit wrap you in God's love, comfort, strength and peace.

We are so heartbroken to hear about Dalta. Joy and Julia always considered her one of their best friends even though they did not see her.We will always look at that time when they were friends as a precious time in our lives. She had such a good influence on them. Julia is getting a ride from Fort Walton to come and is getting one back  We will bring Joy. Much love, Coral and Charles Elizabeth, Joy, and Julia

Garrett Family,
I only got to spend about 28 days with your daughter, but wow were those some amazing days. Dalta was so passionate about the Air Force and that was something everyone could see. I remember her being the first one I saw when I got to our dorm hall at field training and amiss all the chaos she was so calm in directing people and helping people out. In the days I started getting to know her, I realized how truly great of a leader she was and how genuine of a person she was. In speaking for the rest of our flight I know she touched all of our lives in so many ways. We can only aspire to be half the leader she was and will continue to pursue our Air Force careers with her in mind. I'm a firm believer in the fact that people come into our lives for a certain reason and I know that Dalta came into mine to show me how I could grow and better myself in so many aspects of life. She may be gone, but the memory of her will last in all of us who got to know her over those 28 days. She will always be a Fragile Fox in our hearts  and I know that smile that was so infectious to everyone is now looking down on us in heaven. My deepest sympathies go out to her family and friends; she was one amazing woman. 



Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot, 
    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

Oh, how my heart aches for you. Carmen and I are weeping over the loss of precious Dalta. It is wonderful that she was raised under your Christian leadership and example, for we know she is at Jesus' feet. We love you all.

Just read of the loss of your daughter in the paper while passing through AL. Even though you don't know me personally we are bound together through our Savior, Jesus Christ. May your unwavering faith and God's amazing grace carry you now and in the days ahead. My prayers are with you. 
Debbie Williams, your sister in Christ

Words cannot express our deep, deep sorrow over the loss of your precious daughter and sister.  Dalta is completely in the arms of Jesus and for that we are so grateful.  We continue to pray for you all and trust that you will know His peace that passes all understanding.
Much love, Marianne, Ed, Ruthie, and Mary Wofford

Mr. & Mrs. Garrett and family,
Our daughter Ashley just returned from field training in AL and was in Dalta's flight.  In the short time she was there she got to know your daughter and told us what a wonderful person she was.  One story she shared was about receiving mail from home and how Dalta was always getting letters when others were not.  The officer in charged joked " maybe Dalta can share some if her letters with you since she is obviously loved and you are not".   She Even walked all the way down the hall on her hands to get her mail.  Your daughter was liked by all and was a friend to everyone.
We are sure that she would have made a wonderful Air Force Officer.  May God be with you and your family.  You are in our prayers.

Dear Garrett Family,
We are so heartbroken to hear of the loss of your beautiful Dalta. My daughter Maddi was a former member of 4-H and we always thought so highly of the entire Garrett family. Dalta was kind hearted with the warmest smile. May the good Lord comfort you in this truly difficult time.
Tonia and Madison (Maddi) Whitehead

Bill and Vivian, my heart aches for you right now. Dalta, while I did not know her personally, was obviously an incredible young lady who was a difference- maker! We have lost a great young servant. Take comfort in knowing that Heaven has a new angel.

I had the great pleasure of spending time on the mission trip to Yobain, Yucatan, Mexico and getting to know Dalta. Even greater pleasure having her in my chaperone group in Merida. She was truly special and certainly will be missed. I am so sorry for your, and the world's, loss of a very wonderful girl. Prayers are with you.

Mr. and Mrs. Garrett and family,

I was so sorry to learn of Dalta's death.  She was an amazing girl.  Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all now and in the days ahead.

Garrett Family,
What I am feeling right now is difficult to put into words. Dalta was an amazing young woman and a great friend.  I remember sitting around the bonfire with her playing games and just talking about random things. Know that you are you in my thoughts and prayers.  May you find peace in our heavenly father.

Garrett family, our hearts are hurting for you and we will be holding you all up in prayers.
Much love, Sheryl, Frank Spear and family
