For Joel & Rita, Pam & Bob, Joan & Steve, Deanna & Dan: I am very blessed to call you relatives and most grateful to call you friends.
In celebration of 25 years as a Breast Cancer survivor, I joyfully dedicate my work on this book in thanksgiving for the blessings in my life; my loving family, Willy, Christopher, and Beth; and to Mom, who taught all of my brothers and sisters and I the beauty of love for each other: Jack, Carol, Mary, John, Vince, Karina, Andrew, Dien, Pat, Mary, Michael, Mary Pat, Tim, Andrea, and Maureen.
