Dedications

John’s dedication

She came to us in such a whirl,
This precious little angel girl.
A fragile life, doctors would say,
Yet perfect to us in every way.

She changed us all from the very start.
Touching each and every heart.
God loves us all, I’ll always believe.
He sent his angel of proof to you and me.

Everything I see, Everything I do,
Madison Hope I think of you.
You now see us clearly, that I know,
For God has brought his angel home.

—With Love, Grampy

Dedicated to my oldest granddaughter, Madison Hope Stith, 03/20/2000 to 01/17/2012

Steve’s dedication

First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this book to my loving wife Sharyl. Your patience and support has been instrumental during the writing of this book. Thank you for believing in me and allowing me to have the time for my many endeavors. I would also like to dedicate this book to my kids: Zachary, Brianna, Eileen, Susan, Keenan, and Maura. I hope to now spend less time glued to a laptop and more time with all of you.
