Love you so much! Special mention to my mom, Dorothy Chapman (Flossie—yes my dad actually called her Flossie), who sadly recently passed away, I miss you so much it hurts. Your unconditional love from day one never wavered. Your pride in me for my writing and anything I did made me feel so loved and special. You were the most selfless person I’ve ever known, my best friend, and my heart. I’m sure your mother, my sweet grandmother, is with you in heaven right now. I hope I can continue to make you proud. I love you forever.</span></p> <p style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span style="line-height:150%">And to sunny beaches and popcorn, just because…</span></p> </div> </body> </html>
