Dedication And Memorial Page

I want to dedicate this novel / book to my very good friend Shari Showalter. I want to always remember Shari as a very high spirited person she always had a smile on her face and she had lots of pride and very brave. Shari was a type of person you could talk to because she always listened and would always help you in any way she could even if it was just a smile on her face. For everyone who knew Shari knows she was a very special person and I will always remember Shari in just that way.

I want everyone who reads this book to know Shari lives in my book.
