My first publication is dedicated to three beautiful and empowering ladies. My mother MARY'S, love and devotion has carried me to unexpected heights. Mom understood my ambitions and dreams. My dearly departed mother's love has enabled me overcome life most difficult situations. Also, my wonderful cousin and confidant, PATRICIA ANN DUNNE, has interacted with such a kind, generous and perceptive manner. Her dignity in life is unparalleled. PATRICIA is the greatest lady I have ever known. Completing my life's present foundation is my dearest friend RUTH WEATHERALL. Ruth's true Christian spirit has helped me grow in countless areas. Treating me as an equal, RUTH is a truely remarkable friend.
