Geary and I were married 29 December 2001 in Aldie, Virginia. It was a second and wonderful marriage for each of us. Geary passed away 11 December 2008, less than 2 and a half months after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Geary was a truly special man in every sense of the word. About a year before his death, we shared a weekend in Washington State with his longtime friend, Tony Davia. Geary lived life to the fullest and touched the lives of those who knew him.
