Sandy and Bill,
We just read about this in the Tribune article, and are so sorry for your loss.  We remember seeing you in a restaurant in Estes with Geoffrey when he was home on leave.  After you introduced us, we were so happy to have the opportunity to say thank you to him for his service.  He was so gracious and polite -- and handsome in his uniform.  Our thoughts are with you as you continue to grieve and heal.

I know its been awhile... just wanted to let friends and family know. how great cpl cole was as a marine and a person... he was my first fire team leader. and the best ive ever had. When i think of Jeff, one memory above many comes to my mind. Our deployment to ashraf lcpl cole was alittle late to join us because of injuries.. then after we returned from one patrol lcpl cole was sitting there! waiting for us to return. our whole plt was just so excited to see him! took like 20 mins for us to all say whats up and how we miseed him! and good too see you!... we all enjoyed him being around very much he brought light to our darkest times! I know this is coming kind of late, but took awhile for me to come to conclusion he was really gone.. sorry for your loss just wanted to say he was a GREAT person and i will miss him forever, as im sure you will to!

I met Jeff 2 years ago at my family's 4th of July festivities.  I was in from China .  I have been teaching there and doing good if I could.
Jeff was an immediate part of our family time.  He was fun and relaxed and took all the kidding and was just great.
Everett Snyder is my nephew.
So Jeff became my nephew as well.
I am in China at this moment but time and distance do not matter.
I am at a loss for comforting words.
Just know that you raised an honest honorable young man.
He served his country.
He will be missed.
Constance Stringer

My son Everett served with Geoff in the Marines.  Geoff came home with Everett several times when we lived in Northern Virginia and spent July 4th, 2006 with us in Georgia.  We loved him.  What a funny, charming, sweet man.  He was great to have around and so good with my two young nephews who just hung on him.  We just found out yesterday (March 27, 2008) and grieve with you over the loss of sweet Geoff.
Blessings and peace,
Dan and Tracee Snyder
parents of Cpl. Everett Snyder, USMC

i don't know if you remember me, i met you once back before we all went to ashraf.  i just wanted to tell you how sorry i am about what happened even though i know it was months ago...i just now found out about it.  i just want to tell you that he was my best friend and he was a part of my family also, he was like a brother to me and we had a lot of great times together.  he was the only one that could make me laugh until i shed tears and i always remember that about him.  i would very much like to make a trip to colorado and pay him a visit if you don't mind.  i'm so sorry for your loss

Sandra,
I can't imagine the grief and sorrow you are experiencing.  Take time to share and remember the best memories and times.  My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so saddened about the news of Geoff's passing.  When a young person leaves us, it just about breaks your heart.  I will always remember him as a preschooler bouncing around the room at UNC Child Care oh-so long ago.  His blond hair, bright eyes and engaging smile come to my mind when I think of him.  Such a vibrant boy!  I can't imagine how very much you will miss him.  He will be remembered and missed by many of us!  I send you my prayers for strength and hope at a very difficult time.  Know that many others share your grief and care about your family!  Draw strength from  each other and recall happy times together.  Jean Meyer-Scott

You were one of the most beautiful and thoughtful people I have met. I loved our time together and will miss you more than you would ever understand. Keep smiling that beautiful smile sweetheart.

Sandy, I look at your son's photo and see a person as rare and beautiful as you.  I can't imagine your pain in saying goodbye to Geoff, but you and your family have my deepest sympathy and profound hope for kinder days ahead.

There are no words to express our deep sorrow at your loss.  Just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sandy and Bill,
I know that there are no boundaries for the grief and pain you must be experiencing with Geoff's death.  I am so, so sorry for your horrific loss.  My heart hurts for you and your family.  Geoff will continue to be a special part of my experiences as an educator.  Know that all of you are in my well-wishes and prayers for peace and calm.
Respectfully,
Linda Witt

While the depth of your grief is known only to you, the sheer vastness of it impacts the hearts of all who know you, and your courage inspires us all.

Mrs. Cole.
My deepest sympathys are with you. May you find joy and peace within the many memories of Geoffrey.
Justin.

Bill & Sandy,
We were so saddened to hear about Geoffrey's death and can only imagine the pain that your hearts are feeling.  Geoffrey's choice to donate his organs for the benefit of others will ultimately be a comfort to you. May you know the peace that extends beyond human understanding.  Our prayers are with you now as they will be in the days and weeks to come.

Dear Sandra and Bill,

We are so happy that we were there to help you welcome Geoffrey home and will truly miss seeing his face on Friday afternoons. If there is anyway we can help, please let us know.

I am so very sorry to hear about Geoff, I knew him all through high school. I am grateful for his service to our country. He will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear and sorry we can not be there with you during this time.  Our thoughts are with you-

Reaching Out
My heart is reaching out to you,
For what you?'re going through;
I?'m thinking of you frequently
And praying for you, too.
If there?'s something I can do,
Anything at all,
Think of me thinking of you,
And don?'t hesitate to call.
By Joanna Fuchs
Sandy and Bill I am thinking of you during this time.

To the family of Geoffrey Thomas Cole, please accept my condolences at this sad time. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die! 
I am a thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glint on snow. 
I am the sunlight on ripened grain. 
I am the gentle autumn rain. 
When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night. 
You are a true American Hero in every sense of the word. You served as a local hero, for your proud country in a time of war.
Even in your passing you chose to give the gift of life to others.
Thank you, you will never be forgotten! 
Teresa Young, 
Mother of LCpl Calvin Young, USMC

I am so sorry to hear about the Cole family and friends loss of such a great guy! My prayers are with you.
Jill Faricy

Mrs. Cole and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss - may God be with you and your family during this time.  God Bless.
Vicki and family

Sandy and Tim:
There are no words that can be said to comfort you in the loss of your son.  Just know that we are thinking of you and hope your pain eases with time.

Sincerest condolences. My thoughts are with you. Geoff and I went to high school together and he was actually my date to Homecoming in 1998. He will be missed.

Sandy and Bill,
As the mom of two active Marines who attended University for most of their schooling years, my heart aches for you even though I didn't know Geoff.  My prayers are with you.
Go with God,
Janet Bedingfield

Geoff and Family:
We did not know Geoff for long, but the time we spent with him has left a lasting impression on our hearts.  From the moment my husband and Geoff met they formed an instant connection - riding motorcycles.  If my husband was not calling Geoff, Geoff was calling him planning the next ride they were going to take.  Over the summer they took several rides through the Colorado mountains and formed a great friendship.  Our hearts go out to his family and we are so sorry for your loss. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all-
Branson and Collette Peters

Dear Sandy and Bill,
It greatly saddens us to know that Geoff's great smile will now not be bestow on us all.  Our memories of Geoff will stay in our hearts forever--David, Jeromey and Geoff at kinder field day with their arms slung over each other's shoulders; the boys playing football on the playground after school and our dog, Streaker, being the tackler; Geoff's willingness to always help others; field trips in 4th and 5th grade; and many, many more.  A part of Geoff is within us all.  Our thoughts are prayers are with you.
Love, David and Mary Lois

We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful friend in him; we will miss him very much.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, take care, and God bless.

Farewell
Today I step into a new world,
old memories to you I bid farewell.
Today I come out of my shell,
hidden pain and dimal thoughts farewell.
Today a fresh hope I have felt,
to you unfulfilled dreams farewell.
Today I am born new you can tell,
my past to you I bid farewell.
Geoff farewell my friend,I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Cole,

Geoff,
 You have been one of my closest friends scince the day I met you, almost 8 years ago.  White contacts and all! You ALWAYS made me laugh and like I always told you, you had one of the biggest hearts. Im a better person for having known you and you definatly left your mark in my life! I miss you already. You gave up so much to defend this country so I could be here at home and enjoy the freedoms I have! I will miss you forever and hope you found the peace you deserve..... My thoughts and prayers are with your parents and family. You will never be forgotten...

I knew Cole while he served in the Marine Corps. I worked at HEROZ, the bar where Geoff and his friends came to hang out on a regular basis. Cole was a good guy, and filled with movie quotes. He loved to make us laugh, and there were days I would be so down and he would make my day by laughing so much throughout the night. He was definately an unique guy, and anyone who ever met him was lucky.I consider myself very lucky to have met Geoff and known him.

Dear Family;
Please share your grief with us, those who also loved this amazing man. There was something more behind those eyes. We are blessed to have even known him.

You will be in our prayers Sandy and Bill . Words can not tell you how sorry we are for your sons passing . It's hard to understand why or how he chose this action .But maybe he can find peace now in Gods hands. We will keep him and your whole family in our prayers.

Geoff - You will be missed more than you could have ever imagined.  We personally want to say thank you for all you did for our country.  For many years, you were a part of our family and we won't forget the fun times.  Enjoy riding high in the clouds, and watching over us all.  Ride In Peace.
Bill & Sandy: Our deepest sympathy.

Geoff~ as simply as it can be stated you will be missed and you were one amazing person... thank you for your gift of life to others... and thank you for your kindness throughout the years... my thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of need...

Geoff, you were the face I couldn't forget and couldn't get away from. we must have had three ""first"" meetings.  Something about you has always clicked with me.  Maybe it was the Marine Corps.  Something about what we both knew about it that kept the jokes coming and that quiet understanding of what we were both going through.  I will never forget anything about you, because good or bad, you  have helped me and given me confidence. 
You are so much more than you know. 
I could never thank you enough for being there for me, it made me feel so safe just with you knowing and wanting to protect me.  And I have never once not thought about you every time I put on my lip gloss! 
I'm sorry I never told you before.  I've been so proud of you and in all actuality so thankful for you even if you never believe it.  You may have a rough exterior but when you smiled your eyes were so kind and even more amazing than you said mine were.  I'm glad I got to argue that with you at least.   I miss seeing you and hearing your jokes but hey, I still have to put on lip gloss everyday so I will always think of you.

Mr. & Mrs. Cole,
It was my great honor to call Geoff my friend.  I worked with him in the early years at King Soopers and we definitely had some good laughs and fun times.  I've always thought he was such a great guy and after I met the two of you at his Graduation party, I knew why.  We had lost touch after we both left Kings, But I often thought of him any time I saw his named spelled and I would remember calling him G-Off and think about the many laughs we shared.  He will be remembered as an outstanding human being and a friend a person would be lucky to claim.  My heartfelt deepest sympathy goes out to the both of you and your family, and my thanks to you both for sharing such a great kid with the world! I will miss him with you and remember his smile often.
Sincerely,
Dave Mapes

Bill & Sandy, 
  We are so sorry to hear that Geoff has passed.  He was one of our hero's helping to protect our land and I am happy I was able to tell that to him.  Please remember all the fun times you had with him while he was here, and it will help you get thorough this difficult time.  Our prayers are with you, God Bless.

I will never forget you and the things that you have done for everyone surrounding you. I will miss seeing your smiling face and the way you lit up a room. You are a beautiful person in heart and soul and I am so thankful that you were a part of this world. We all love you and will miss you deeply. You will never be forgotten.

Geoff you will be greatly missed. I know you will be watching over all of us. Thank you for the way you touched my life.

Thank you for the beautiful poem Tiffany.  Geoff is definitely one of our angels who will watch over us and be with us forever.

Life is a journey,
a journey that takes us down many roads.
Some good and some not so good.
But as we travel we learn,grow, and meet
people that make those journeys all worth the travel.
Those kind of people in a way are like
Angels.
With them we find comfort 
Friends come and go,
and from each one we learn more about our selves.
We see our weakness are strengths
from the eyes of another.
But the ones that stay and imprint our hearts are the ones we keep close and safe within,
like an Angel.
And there we find comfort 
So I write this message with love and thanks.
For you have touched my life,
you have made a lasting impression 
You are one of my life's angles
You will forever stay an angel in my heart
Geoff Cole
We love you
Tiffany
