I have considered myself to be fortunate to have had two parents who cared for me, a younger brother who had been my best friend, as well as others, not family members, who've inspired to persevere, despite the obstacles or just to simply appreciate the joy of daily living. I would like to thank Julie Pletcher, Morris C. Brown, Amy B. Brown, Warren Brown, Mrs. Campbell, Anna Henderson, Dorothy Bray, Ronald Wells, and Sylvia Stockdill, who have moved on to the next chapter in their existence.
