2015. Dear Geoff: You were my joy in life. Your sweet sense of humor, "I love you, Mom.", the door opening when you came home from school...all absent from my life. The ways we worked together to take care of tasks and chores. You chatted freely while working. I have planted more daisies this spring, I love you and miss you terribly. You have my love and affection, my dear child. Mom

My dear Geoffrey: Nary an hour goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Life without you, my son, is joyless, flat. I miss you.
All my love and affection, Mom

Dr. Arnold,
I was so sad to hear about your loss. Geoffrey was often on my mind through the years. I especially thought of him each time I make Ovaltine for my children. Please know you are in my thoughts. Sue Yousefi-Hoang
