To the Kennedy family,
Once we had the opportunity to meet Geoff in the USA, but his kindness and spirit made a lasting impression. His legacy is carried on by his family, we are so grateful for that gift.
May the warm memories and love you have shared never fade away, and help you through this difficult time.
Louise, Brian and their four daughters.
