GUEST BOOK

To the family of Dr. Garrison, I am a former GSU student of Dr. Garrison's. She inspired me to teach Science and love it. I adored her as a person and a teacher. The last time I saw her was at Roxie Remley's at Christmas time. She had not changed any. I will always have fond memories of her. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in your loss. Know that in her quiet way she is instructing someone about her quilts or science.
