Dearest Sandy and Chels, Katherine and I just found out today about your loss. I remember when the girls were little Geoff would tease them about their extreme beanie baby obsession. Please know that my prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Geoff will be missed by many. All of our love, Babe, Katherine, Christopher

I cannot believe this. I have so many memories with Geoff. Chelsea and I were best friends when she lived in Fort Myers. Her and Jenna and I were always together. I was around Geoff a lot. He made me CDs, he went trick or treating with us. He went to the mall with us and laughed at us when we gushed over our new clothes. He let us borrow his movies and he scared us when we watched his scary movies. I honestly cannot believe this is happening. Not after the death of Corine Frutos. However, this one hits even closer to home. I knew him. I knew him well and I remember him well. I can't express how much sympathy I have for your family. And Chelsea? I love you, always.

Dear Geoff, Yesterday was a very sad day as we said goodbye to you. I think you would have been surprised to see so many friends and family gather together. I don't think you realized how many people you had affected with your life. The minister read a piece your dad wrote about Ganesh. Everytime I see a statue I will smile and think "that's cool". A couple friends shared memories that made us cry, but also laugh. Mrs. King expressed to us your love of art and also the love you had for your sister. We may never understand why things happened but I believe it is better to use that energy to become a better person, a better friend. May you rest in peace.
Love, your Aunt Linda
Geoff...being goofy :'(....<3 and miss you, man.

To the love of my life, and his family,
You have blessed my life with your smile, your warmth, and your love.
The time we had together was precious, and beautiful. Words cannot describe the happy memories we had shared when Geoff lived in Florida.
If anything, he has not left us; Geoff resides in our hearts, our memories. He is our guardian angel now, and I'm so happy that he is going to be taken care of. God is so lucky to have such a beautiful person residing in his kingdom now.
I will love him always and forever. Bunches and bunches, just the way he would say it.

To one of my favorite families:
I am so so sorry for your loss. I know you must have heard it many times in the past week, but it’s as if I can’t say anything else. I haven’t personally felt the sting of losing a loved one, but Geoff was young and it certainly was too soon for him. Of course, I’ve known you guys for several years and I love you all so much. Chelsea, I’m here for you whenever you need me. I always have been, and always will be; remember that. Ms. Keenan, I am so sorry. I love you guys and miss you terribly. Hang in there. Geoff, you will be missed more than you know.
Love Amanda

He was a respectful and good natured young man and he will be missed dearly in the Rocky Hill community. Chelsea, you are also in my thoughts and prayers and although there is nothing I can say to make this tragedy any easier, know that we are behind you here at school and are ready to support you in any way you need us. All my best...

I am so sorry for your family loss. When Geoff had first came to our school I had wanted to be his friend. I only hungout with him once when we went to the movies, but I had talked to him online and when he'd sit with me at lunch. He was the sweetest and nicest kid I have ever met. I'd just like to send my love to your family, he will be missed always and forever.

I attended Rocky Hill High School with him before he had moved to alternative..we talked about him all the time after he left,we missed him a ton..he's what made the class interesting. he was unfortunately only in one of my classes, 4th period this year. But, he was such an amazing kid. We love him so much!
"so i pirate walks into a bar with his parrot. after a couple drinks, he puts the parrot on the counter and gets up to leave, the bartender stops him and says 'are you just gonna leave that lyin there?' and the pirate replys; 'thats no lion,thats my parot"
