To the memory of my mom and dad, who had such a great influence in my life. Both of you are truly missed. Also, to my wife, Debbie, who shows such great patience with me, and to my beautiful daughter, Lindsey, whose advice I always listen to, and her husband, Keith (the funny Irishman), who can always make me laugh. You guys are so special to me.
And, as always, to the One from whom all blessing flow, my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Your grace is truly amazing!
