“Grayson was such an amazing and strong person. He taught me an important lesson, and for that I am very thankful. He was one of the strongest people I have ever seen, with a tiny and fragile body but with a sould that stood proud and tall. I will never forgive this little boys perspective on life, and I know that as I type his message he is finally able to play baseball. My most sincere condolences, and I hope you can find peace and happiness in Grayson's memory, for he was a breathing miracle.”

“I was browsing YouTube and discovered the sbsk YouTube video. When I first saw him I felt an emotion I will most likely never feel again. The sheer strength of him just amazed me. His happy go lucky personality mixed with his condition just shows there's always a light to the dark. I am greatful for the chance to view his outlook on life. He has truly changed my outlook on life as well. With many sorrows in his heart -Anonymous 7th grader”

“I just aimlessly discovered the existence of Grayson K. Smith when I was 13 years old. I was watching videos on youtube when I found a video of SBSK. I watched this and I was very interested in the syndrom of Grayson, and touched by his hapiness, his smile and his courage in his fight against the death. I just wished he wasn't already died while I watch the video. It wasn't the case ! But now he is dead. Oh I am so sad for you and your parents. You were so carefree... I won't forget you, boy...”
