To my family and my dearest friends — you are my inspirations, role models and mentors. Whatever I am facing, I can find strength and guidance by thinking of what my Mom, Papa, Dad, or brother might say or do. Every day I have reasons to say thank you for teaching us to work, to accept responsibility for our actions, to do the right thing, and to help others. You taught us to do what we enjoy and to do our best. What a great formula to be happy, energized, and resilient, and to appreciate all that we have! You set the foundation for me to embrace the thrills, lessons, and adventures in life. And, throughout life, to be compassionate and to give generously — especially laughter and smiles, a hug or a helping hand.

I promise I'll update the family website again soon. I also need to make special mention of my daughter, Lyndsey; you give me reason to be proud every day. Love ya, sweetie. We'll make up for the missed weekend dinners soon.
