For Lora, Abby, and Rae for making me a truly blessed and lucky man. To my aunt Ruth whose love, support, and encouragement mean so much. To my mother Juanita, and my grandmother Grace, for the many sacrifices you made and the example you set…I miss you.

John Sammons

I dedicate this book to my wife, Destiny: Always and forever the apple of my eye.
