To Dad, who has shown me that with hard work and
dedication, I can do or be anything I set my mind to.
To Mom, for your support, encouragement and
unending pride.
To a treasured friend, Jamie Ann Denton, for more reasons than simple words could ever express.
And as always to my husband, Don, who gives me the
confidence to believe in myself. You are the reason all my
dreams have come true.
