Memories and Condolences

It has been 15 years since, I heard the news about Christopher because I was aboard the ship with our equipment going to Afghanistan. I only knew him while we were preparing for our deployment, but he was such a great person to be around. We shared the same interest of the Civil War, and talked alot about it. I remember we visited his grave when we came back from the deployment, and I will always remember him. He will never be forgotten.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Christopher P. Geiger:
It has truly been my honor to sign Christopher's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Christopher will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

In Memory of Christopher Patrick ~ (Debra Estep)
July 9, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Christopher, but I am remembering
his service and his ultimate sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I am sorry that I am just now learning of this great loss. I guess I should do a better job keeping in touch with old friends. I went to Northanpton High School with Chris and graduated Class of 1983 with him. He was always a good friend and someone you could rely on. The armed services were always his dream and mine growing up so he was doing something he wanted to be doing. I had looked forward to seeing you in the near future but now i believe I will have to wait till I see you on the other side my friend.

I wish to express my condolences to Chris's family. Not a day goes by that he is not thought of. I was his friend from 1995 to 1999. I miss his boisterous laugh and his Civil War antecdotes. He influenced my life and will not easily be forgotten.

My sister, Bridget Widdowson, is a member of the 213th in Afghanistan and that is how I know of your son and your loss. During this most holy season, I pray for you and your family and that the peace of God will be with you.
Lest we forget,

I worked with Chris at Aldrich. I've known him for three years and he treated me like a typical brother would. We had some good times at Aldrich and he will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Do not stand by my grave and weep,I am not there I do not sleep,I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the diamond glints on snow,I am the sunlight on ripened grain,I am the gentle autumn's rain,when you awaken in the morning hush,I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,I am the soft star that shines at night,Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there I did not die.----rest in peace my friend!!!
