Dedication

In every life, there are some individuals who the Eternal God places as reminders of love, grace, joy, and patience. In mine, there are three caring daughters: Ms. Portia Parler, Mrs. De Lois Corbitt, and Miss Jane Thompson. There are human keepers of this author’s physical existence. I thank our precious Lord for their dedication.

In appreciation, Dad.
