Hi Moe,
I haven’t posted over here in a while, but I think/pray for your family often. I hope things work out with Greg’s job.
I will continue to pray for all of you, unfortunately (well fortunately) we will be moving in a few weeks, DH got a new job closer to our family and we will not be getting the Internet there in an attempt to save money.
God Bless,
Mary

Girl recalled at dedication
Soccer field named after McKayla Geisinger, who died during class trip in March 2007
By KYLE STUCKER
AMHERST – The mood was both solemn and cheerful Saturday morning at the dedication of the new Bean Recreational Fields as families shared stories of an Amherst Middle School student who died last year.
One of the fields at the complex on Boston Post Road was dedicated to the memory of McKayla Geisinger, a Mont Vernon girl who died suddenly while on a seventh-grade class trip in March 2007. Geisinger was an avid soccer player and a member of the Amherst Soccer Club. After her death, Geisinger’s teammates approached the school board to get one of the fields named after her.
Geisinger’s father, Greg, said he was grateful for the students’ efforts. He said it was a combination of efforts from friends, family and the town that helped him, his wife, Maureen, and their daughter, Amanda, get through the grieving process.
“We know that a few years from now, Maureen and I will be able to come here and remember her playing soccer,” said Geisinger. “We now have a marker to remember her.”
The town began work on the nine-acre complex 18 months ago. The board of selectmen contributed $250,000 of tax money for construction of the fields. The project cost approximately $450,000, and the remainder of the funds was raised by the Amherst Recreation Department through donations from private businesses.
The Bean Recreational Fields – named after the Bean family, which once owned the land – are four playing surfaces located in front of Amherst Middle School and Souhegan High School. They include a 60-foot baseball diamond and two full-size soccer fields. Field 1, the full-size soccer field that’s closest to the road, was the one dedicated to Geisinger on Saturday.
“I feel since her passing, I know her a lot more,” said Porter Dodge, principal of Amherst Middle School. “It took us all by surprise, obviously. We didn’t know how to deal with it. It made all of us, as parents, go home and hug our kids a little tighter.”
Geisinger’s teammate, Kathryn Dillon, also spoke at the ceremony. Standing with her teammates next to an engraved granite stone in the middle of mulch landscaped in the shape of a heart, she expressed the team’s respect for Geisinger.
The dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony was part of a family field day, which included the annual Amherst Town Olympics.

Just wanted to drop by to let you know that I still daily keep your intentions in my prayers. I will add extra ones for Amanda. LOL
Teenagers are “different” sometimes, but just love her and pray for her, and ask her sister to keep her in prayer!!

Just to let you know I am still here … still in pain. Still missing my baby girl - aching really.
But I am working and continue to ask God to help me get through the days.
A very sad thing happened - We lost our cat Billy, on Tuesday - he was hit by a car around 9:30 pm. Above are two links - one my memorial of Billy and the second is Amanda’s page that she created.
Amanda is going backwards - she is devastated, we all are devastated … may I continue to ask you all for prayers - for they are definately needed.
Hugs and hugs,
Moe, Forever McKayla’s Mom

Just wanted to stop in and tell you hi and that you’re all in my prayers.
What a great area you live in! That’s so nice about the soccer field. They really seem to love McKayla so much. She must’ve loved them, too.
Talk to you later.

Hi and thank you Lori K. I am so happy that I still have friends that are still praying.
We need them. As we head into year two of the holiday season without her.
Please continue to pray for us - especially during the next couple of months.

**Thanks so much my friend. Keep us closer in prayer if you would as we struggle through yet another holiday season without her.Praying for your family Moe.
Greg and I are going to make an effort this year, for Amanda’s sake. I know KK would want us to decorate - she loved Christmas so much.
I am also encouraging Amanda to decorate the barn for her horses. I think she is excited about it.
Hugs and kisses,
