DEDICATION

To my beloved mother, Eloise Vera Harvey, who was a devoted
Sunday school teacher for forty years. She blessed my heart and
soul with the gift of faith. My faith has been the cornerstone of my
existence and of everything I have overcome and of everything that
I am, and for that I love her so, and I miss her ever more every day
.

To my father, whose sole job was to teach me manhood, and that
he did, and he imbued me with an incredible work ethic, for which
I owe him my entire career. Thank you, father
.

To Marjorie, my wife, who came along and allowed for everything
that my parents instilled in me to rise to the top. She has been
an inspiration, a motivation. She is the love of my life. She is
much of the reason I am who I am. I love you, girl!
