All of the fond memories I have of growing up at Greenberry Day Camp. The memories of Geoff and Terry, too. The fun times we had. Those fond memories will always stay with me. I was so sorry to hear about Geoff's unfortunate accident and now this. He will always remain a smiling face in my thoughts. Best wishes to all family members as you get through these grieving times. And especially you, Mrs. Lemmon. How hard it must be for you to lose a child. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Beth Minger

My sympathies to the family on the passing of Geoffrey. I wish that I could have known him better. I have great childhood memories of us and especially of his Mom, and how kind she was to me. I have never forgotten in 40 years how much fun we had running around the farm and just being kids. I hope all of your family is well. Thanks for the memories. God Bless You, Your old neighbor, Eric Mitchell
