Alyssa Geske Obituary

Alyssa Rose Geske set aside the limitations of this mortal life on September 29, 2009 and is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Alyssa was born November 23, 1990, in San Diego, California to Jim and Kati Geske. Alyssa is survived by her sister, Naomi Hughes, her brother, Michael Geske, and hundreds of friends, relatives and prayer partners. Her faith in God, her love for His Son, Jesus, her positive attitude, her enthusiasm for life, and her compassion and love for people will always inspire us to close the gap between who we are and who God intends us to be. One day we will embrace her not only in our hearts but in our arms, as well.
