Mike,



It's almost been a year, but it feels like yesterday that you left. I miss you so much that it still hurts. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you. I will never forget what you have given me over the years. You will be forever in my heart and soul. I wish I could call you. You have always been there for me. I hope that you are happy and found what you have always needed in your life. I am still searching. I love you forever. Love and Kisses. Me

Michael was a great freind to me as well as a coach. I had a friendship with Mike that goes beyond friendships, we were like brothers as long as we knew eachother. I just found out April 6, 2003 of Michaels passing. I am deeply crushed because it had been a while since we had spoken. Best regards to all Micheals friends and especially family. Great love to everyone and I hope that you all keep his memories strong; I will. I miss him!

TO THE ENTIRE GEIGER FAMILY,

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND BE WITH YOU DURING AND AFTER THIS DIFFICULT TIME. MR.AND MRS.GEIGER, I KNOW THESE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT FOR YOU,AS I TOO HAVE LOST A CHILD. YOU MUST KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT MIKE IS IN A SAFE AND WONDERFUL PLACE AND THAT HE IS WHOLE AGAIN IN HEAVEN WITH GOD AND WE TOO WILL UNITE WITH HIM AGAIN ONE DAY. HERE IS A POEM THAT SOMEONE SHARED WITH ME DURING MY LOSS. I HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU AS IT DID ME.

TO ALL PARENTS

"I'LL LEND YOU FOR A LITTLE TIME A CHILD OF MINE,"HE SAID.

"FOR YOU TO LOVE THE WHILE HE LIVES AND MOURN FOR WHEN HE'S DEAD.

IT MAY BE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS,OR TWENTY-TWO OR THRREE,

BUT WILL YOU, TILL I CALL HIM BACK, TAKE CARE OF HIM FOR ME?

HE'LL BRING HIS CHARMS TO GLADDEN YOU, AND SHALL HIS STAY BE BRIEF,

YOU'LL HAVE HIS LOVELY MEMORIES AS SOLACE FOR YOUR GRIEF."

"I CANNOT PROMISE HE WILL STAY, SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN,

BUT THERE ARE LESSONS TAUGHT DOWN THERE I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN.

I'VE LOOKED THE WIDE WORLD OVER IN MY SEARCH FOR TEACHERS TRUE,

AND FROM THE THRONGS THAT CROWD LIFE'S LANE I HAVE SELECTED YOU.

NOW WILL YOU GIVE HIM ALL YOUR LOVE, NOR



THINK THE LABOR VAIN,

NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO CALL AND TAKE HIM BACK AGAIN?"

"I FANCIED THAT I HEARD THEM SAY:"DEAR LORD, THY WILL BE DONE!

FOR ALL THE JOY THY CHILD SHALL BRING, THE RISK OF GRIEF WE'LL RUN.

WE'LL SHELTER HIM WITH TENDERNESS, AND LOVE HIM WHILE WE MAY,

AND FOR THE HAPPINESS WE HAVE KNOWN,FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY;

BUT SHALL THE ANGELS CALL FOR HIM MUCH SOONER THAN WE'VE PLANNED,

WE'LL BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEF THAT COMES AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND."



IF THEIR IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR ANY OF YOU JUST LET US KNOW. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU EVERYDAY.

LOVE ALWAYS,

BRIAN AND JODY LUCAS

Mr. and Mrs. Geiger, Bert, Char, Ashley, Ryan and Kayley, there are no words to describe the loss that we feel, losing Mike, is like losing a part of our family. He so touched our lives. Kim and I are so grateful to have grown up with Mike; he was our best friend, our brother and part of our souls. May time heal your sorrow, may friends ease your pain, may peace replace heartache and may warmest memories remain. We love you all, share your sorrow and stand with you in your time of need! May you take comfort that there is one more angel above us.
