Geoffrey was the Young Men President in Busia and was
planning to serve a mission.
Sunday evening after a full day of serving the members
and helping the missionaries in Busia he was attacked as he
went to his home. A "Good Samaritan" came to his aid - took him to
the hospital and they hospital was able to find his
grandmother on Monday evening. He was in a coma
until Friday morning when he was aware of those
around him, asked for a drink then passed away.
We were heart broken because we loved him.
He and his sister were raised bu theiry
grandmother who sold pineapples on the street side
to support them. He had made a CD of rap music
that he was selling to support his way in college.
We attended the funeral in Busia.

Following the services the casket was closed and the burial
was done in the area behind the home.
Elder Moon dedicated the grave.
It was a reverent and humbling feeling to be a part of the services
of such a fine young man. I am sure he is serving the
Lord in the Spirit World and teaching his parents.
This is a nearby home on the path to the home of Geoffrey.
I am grateful for the knowledge we have of the
Plan of Salvation and the Love of the Savior that
he showed through the Atonement.
