My biggest fan and my biggest supporter, my husband, Ed. Without you
believing in me and continually telling me I was doing the right thing, I don’t
know how I would have gotten through it all.
Thank you for helping me through the difficult times of listening to very difficult
events. I love you so much! To my daughter, Candace, who was always there to
talk things through with me. Helping me to make clearheaded decisions at times
when things were difficult, I love you more than you will ever know. To my two
sons, Steven and Mi-chael, for believing in me, and even at times having to talk
me through why I was writing this story. I love you both so much.
To Linda Hewlett, who helped me in so many ways. You were always there to
point me in the right direction. Maybe we will have time for that cup of coffee
soon.
To Sherry Cook, a great researcher, thank you for the information you found,
and for caring about this case. You were a gift.
To Janet, for your continued support and prayers. You cried with me when I
cried and celebrated when I celebrated. I am eternally grateful.
To Phil and Gail, thank you so much for all of your help. It will never be
forgotten.
