DEDICATION
Get Well Wishes
is dedicated in memoriam to my dear friend who inspired all
who knew him:
Brian Cox
(1950-1999)
This book is also dedicated to my friends
who have fought or still fight the daily battles that illness entails:
Janine Canan,
Joanie Guggenmos,
and
Virginia Lynn Eathorne
I have great respect and admiration for your grit,
determination, and courage.
Thanks for helping me see that every day is truly a gift.
This book’s for you…and please, be well.
