  My Mother, Rose, taught me about the true nature of God for which I am
  eternally grateful. My Father, Carroll, taught me about true love for my

  The artistic cover for this work is taken from profound art pieces created by
  our daughter, Jill. She is forever loved and missed.
  
  Jill’s Mother, Linda and her oldest son, Robb, assisted greatly with the

  Our Sons, Adam and Daniel provided lots of advice and support. My Wife, Linda
  also assisted with editing support for which I could not have done without!
