To my dear sisters-in-law, Molly and Gin, whose endless support, encouragement in all my endeavors for thirty-five years, sweet inspiration and kind, gentle nudging show me the way. To my beloved Dad, Charles, Uncle Marshall and AuntTreva in spirit, their valuable words and hearts are still with me. To my brother, Terry, I’m still praying for, has always inspired me to be the best I can be. To my dear mother, Ruth, my on-the-spot confidante, is always ready with a quick answer to keep me focused. To my treasured Grandangels, Lauren and Jake, who have opened my eyes to a whole new joy I feel that they’ve come from my own body. To my precious children, Nibby, Dave and Shannon, I once took care of are now taking care of me. To my dear husband, Nib for always being the strong one and keeping me challenged.
