Acknowledgments

I thank my editor, Cherie Metcalf, B.A. English, M.S. Education, M.A. English, for editing, and perfecting the final draft of my book, all while studying to receive her doctorate degree in English, moving her aging mother from Florida to Ohio and caring for her in her home. Her work ethics, inexhaustive energy, and perfection of compassion is exceptional. A loyal and true friend for over forty five years, you have my deepest gratitude.

I also want to thank my fifteen-year-old granddaughter, Julia Sargeant, for her time and commitment, and enthusiastic response to put her talents to work in her illustrations for my book of poetry.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my eight grandchildren, who are my sunshine and joy. No greater gift given to a grandmother, no grater privilege and joy than to pray and encourage them to trust the Savior.

They are the brightest jewels in my crown.
