This book is dedicated to my husband Michael.

I love you!

I want to thank my husband, my four sons, Shawn, Matt, Danny and Joey for all your support over the years and my three-year-old granddaughter, Olivia, for brightening up my days. My mother, Alberta Murray and my sister, Karen Gomer, for always being there for me. Also, thank you to Sammie Grace for being the first to read BlackJack and giving me valuable information.
