In Memory of Jarrett
After a long, hard battle, Jarrett Boston passed away Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2006. Jarrett was a big part of Collins Hill, and will be dearly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Boston family. We will miss--and never forget Jarrett.
A Message from Coach Pierce:
...Jarrett Boston has gone to be with our Lord and Savior. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family... I have peace this morning though knowing that Jarrett is in a better place and he is Cancer free and Pain free. I do not know all there is to know about Heaven, but he may be shooting hoops and smiling and looking down on us and saying, "Please do not cry for me. I am the lucky one. I am with our Heavenly Father and we are having a blast. No more sorrows... no more tears. I have found my Victory in Jesus."
Memorials in Jarrett's name can be made to the Make A Wish Foundation, 1230 Johnson Ferry Rd., Ste. E-40, Marietta, GA 30068-2054. A special thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation for providing Jarrett and our family with a trip to Disney World this past June.
Jarrett valiantly combated Malignant Melonoma, for the second time. Malignant melanoma is only found in 1 in 350,000 kids under the age of 18. There are only about 500 cases in the United States. Ranked 50th among a class of 920, Jarrett was a "Scholar Athlete" (received his first ever "B" in school his sophomore year while initially treating this disease) participating in basketball, baseball, and football.
