Quotations: "My mother influenced my writing years ago. Through sickness and hardship through the years, her faith in God's holy word taught me of His unconditional love for all - including me."

"Once the decision was made to write my autobiography, what unraveled was amazing. God is always with us. The crystallizing voice of my Lord visited me through dreams, sending warming echoes from my parents. Although we are born sinners, through the blood of Christ those who believe will find this world a much better place in which to live."
