Dedication

This book is dedicated to my wife, Renee Marie, who inspired me to put my thoughts on paper. Thanks for helping me put this book together.

I would also like to point out special poems written. The first is, Reunited, in memory of my pets Julius, Teriaki Gem, and Baby King.

For my mother-in-law, Consuelo Morales, a key to heaven.

A new life, written especially for our niece Alexandria Meadon.

Next is, Cambrie Isabella, she's our next grandchild, what a gift of love for all to behold.

To my father-in-law, Leonard Oviedo. I look to him for inspiration as he represents the past generation. Thank you for all the great memories.
