To my beloved, precious children,
Beatrix, Trevor, Todd, Nick,
Sam, Victoria, Vanessa,
Maxx, and Zara,
of whom I am so proud,
to whom I am so grateful,
for whom I live my life,
with whom life is a joyful adventure!
May the ties that bind us be
ever gentle and ever strong!
with all my love,
Mommy/D.S.
