      DEDICATION

      Get Well Wishes

      is dedicated in memoriam to my dear friend who inspired all

      who knew him:

      Brian Cox

      (1950-1999)

      This book is also dedicated to my friends

      who have fought or still fight the daily battles that illness entails:

      Janine Canan,

      Joanie Guggenmos,

      and

      Virginia Lynn Eathorne

      I have great respect and admiration for your grit,

      determination, and courage.

      Thanks for helping me see that every day is truly a gift.

      This book’s for you…and please, be well.
