Dedication
Above all, I thank you God for your unfailing love. I can do nothing apart from You and all things through You!
To my sweetheart of 32 years, Scott. Thank you for loving me and making me a wife and mother. This book is a testament to your support and our partnership.
To my adult children – Leah, Andrew, and Sarah – I am blessed beyond measure to be your mother. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement you are to me.
