TO MY FAMILY

I dedicate this book to my family so true Two girls and four boys make up all of you. I want to include my husband, Joe,

The love of my life, and friend where I go. I hope you enjoy the book about the years We spent together through fun and tears. There is laughter and fun as you read within, Sometimes you lose and others you win.

I tried to write the book to view,

How lucky we are to have children like you. You had your good days and your bad But to us, you are the best we could have. We watched you each arrive and go, And when you pranced to and fro.

We saw you master some great feats Some achievements of yours, could never be beat. I thank God for each of you each day, And for your father in a special way. Without you all where would I be,

With no grandchildren to sit on my knee. The grandchildren are a blessing too, Because they remind us of your life renewed. So it is with joy, that I dedicate this book of stories

To you and your spouse, you are my pride and glory.
