Dedication

Gary Olsen “ Four years ago I dedicated my first book to my eternal companion, Colleen, and there is still no one else on earth who I could consider dedicating this book to. I absolutely would not have been able to complete this book without her help and support. Our marriage is an eternal one ”a celestial one ”under God.

Bruce Howard “ Without the encouragement and support of my incredible wife and eternal friend Lauret, I would never have found the courage or strength to begin and complete this book. She strengthens me and lifts my spirit to allow me to soar higher and higher. To know such a love is truly a blessing beyond words. It is to my loving wife Lauret that I dedicate this book.
