What a terrible sadness and shock to hear of Geoff's sudden passing. My heart goes out to you dear Alison and your lovely daughters Phoebe and Ella. So many years have gone by since we have crossed paths but I have never forgotten the sharing and the caring of you both and those fun Wisconsin days. Geoff had a smile so wide and was always a joy to banter with. What a great all round sweet guy who was a friend to all. My deepest sympathies and much love to you and your families. Belinda
