DEDICATION
I am so blessed with wonderful supportive people in my life. I dedicate this
book to Curtis, little Juniper, Mom and Dad, Bob, and Father Ron.
To my beautiful husband and soulmate, Curtis. I celebrate the day you
walked through the doorway into my life and every day since then. You are
the best thing that ever happened to me and will always be my best friend,
confi dante, partner, love, and soulmate. I am blessed to share my life with
you. Whatever our souls are made of, yours and mine are the same.
To the memory of Juniper. You touched my heart and soul. I will always
carry you with me and will never forget you.
To my wonderful and supportive parents, Michael and Deborah Schoff ro.
Your recognition and nurturing of the writer within me since I was a few years
old has immensely helped me in my life. From the early days of writing down
my stories for me as I dictated them and listening to my poetry as a child, your
love and support have helped me evolve and grow as a person and a writer.
To my sister, for your friendship and fabulous healthy recipes. Your vibrant
energy and contribution to my life and this book are greatly appreciated.
To the memory of Monseigneur Ron Synnott. You were always like a
father to me, inspiring, motivating, and helping me through some of the
most diffi cult times in my life. Many people do not have one loving father
in their life; I was blessed with two. Th ank you. You will always have a
special place in my heart. You still inspire me.
