Hunter, Jessica, and Brett,
This just shouldn´t have happened...really hard to wrap your head around Millers passing.
I´ve been so deeply saddened by it. I´m a mom of two boys (Dario 20 and Dante 18)...and lately I´ve been thinking more of Miller than my own sons.
As I get older, I find when a young person passes before their time, it´s really hard to accept.
So my thoughts and feelings and energy are with you. We´ll all see Miller on the other side!

We are so sorry to hear of your family´s loss of your beautiful son. The grief that comes with the loss of a child is the worst pain the human body can endure. We were told when we lost our son "you are now part of a club that no one ever wants to join". I wish no parent ever had to join this heartbroken club. All I can tell you is to be kind to yourself during this time. Your life will be different from here on out. The grief will come in waves and you will feel like going under. You will feel like you are learning to live half alive. Lean into your family...keep each other from drowning. You will feel every emotion...be each other´s strength to get through one day at a time. Don´t get too stressed about what comes next. Take the time you need to grieve for as long as you need. Lean into God...he´s here to pull you through your darkest hours. Know without a shadow of a doubt that your son is still nearby...he´s in another realm that we cannot see, like being on the other side of a veil. You now know an angel by name. Talk to him...he hears you. He will send you signs that he´s ok...pay attention to the smallest details. When you think it´s Miller sending you signs, don´t second guess...it is him reaching out. Find ways to include him...we take packs of forget me nots on every trip and sow them in beautiful fields all over the world for our Josh. Just know that you will see him again. And what a beautiful day that will be.

Sympathy, Condolences Of The Gardener Family, Friends
There are no words that anyone could say at this difficult time, yet as we are all mourning as we are celebrating the life of Miller Gardener, he will be certainly missed by everyone Who knew him. He was the son of the former New York Yankees Pitcher Brett Garner. As everyone heard on the news that Brett Garner´s Family was on vacation in Costa Rica, which he eat something that made him sick, passed away. May you´re Family, along Miller´s friends found comfort around them in the coming days to come, the first to years to come are hard especially on Special Occasions along holidays to, with people surrounded you with love, laughter, comfort, internal sorrow & stories to tell along with pictures that tells a story and the memories of him Playing Basketball, Football too. He is looking down on everyone. In Invert pastures he gives me repose; besides restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life. As he left this earth may his soul still lives on as his body Departs, return back home eternally Heaven. My thoughts, prayers are with you, you´re family at this difficult time!

You are not alone, I am also a parent who has lost a son and because we loved so hard our children that is why our pain is so hard. The tcf compassionate friend 50 plus years going is a groups of parents around the world who have lost children. There are groups local who meet every third Tuesday in your area or you can go on line to their website for comfort. They bring comfort as no one understanding understands like we do and I will keep you in my prayers and remember God is by your side everyday to get you through this. I miss my son Alex everyday.

I remember this poem from when I lost my baby I don't know who wrote it. When you lose your parents you are a orphan,when you lose your wife you are a widower,when you lose your husband you are a widow but when you lose your child there is no word for this because it's not supposed to happen that way. It's been 33 years sense we lost her and you never get over it but you do learn to live with it. I honestly believe I will see her again as you will see your son. God Bless You All.

To the Gardner family,
My heart breaks for you all, and you have been in my prayers. I lost my handsome 33 year old son 2 years ago to sudden cardiac arrest. Needless to say, our world was shattered. To Jessica, I know how your Mama heart is breaking, it doesn't matter their age, they are still our baby boys. To Brett, this will be such a hard journey for your family, show each other grace because emotions will be hard, especially for Jessica. To Hunter, your brother will always be with you in your heart, your lives have changed in an instant, don't be embarrassed by showing your emotions, they are real. We will pray for your family. God Bless, Kevin and Lauri Walker

Our family hearts are with you as you navigate your loss, grief and new way of life. Unfortunately, we understand your pain we too lost a child she was 16. The 2nd Sunday of December is National Childrens Memorial Day. Candles are lit at 7pm around the globe to create a 24 hour wave of light to signify NO child is forgotten and their light will always shine. I hope you can find a Compassionate friends group in your area that participates in the candle lighting. Please know your family is in our hearts and prayers.

He Only Took My Hand
"Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said: "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand."

We are so sorry for your loss! Sending our Love,

The depth of grief and the ripple effect of the loss of a child is known only to those who have lost a child. My 18 year old son, Chad, died 9/4/09 instantly as a result of a car accident. And your whole world goes with them. You need to learn to live again in a world that somehow seems so foreign. I am so very sorry this grief and loss has touched your family. Something in your son's smile reminds me of my son's smile. It is a long road ahead and there is no such thing as closure. Don't let anyone tell you how to grieve; it is individual for everyone. In time, in your own time, you will be able to know that your son is no further than your heart. My son is the light that shines in my life and I smile and I laugh now ... just like he did. But it takes time. God bless you and your family.

Brett, Jessica, and Hunter,
Earthly words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you all. Know that you are in our prayers and in our thoughts as you go through this time. You all are loved- by family, friends, and fans. I pray that God comforts each of you, like only He can, and no matter the darkness on the horizon, God is in control, and He has a perfect plan.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me, and come and pray to Me and I will listen." Jeremiah 29:11,12
