In memory of my wonderful mother,
Virginia Faris Patton,
who had a special talent for listening,
and
my dear friend,
Kate Wagner Landin,
who had a special talent for living and giving.
Your courage, humor, and love in the face of
death blessed and inspired me beyond my
ability to describe. Thank you both from the
depths of my heart and soul.
