Those who are closest to us

I am looking at our list of dedications, and I am thinking there are so MANY, and this is just a few of all of them out there, and even here. Grandmothers, great-aunts, bosses, neighbors, co-workers, sons, fathers, mothers, daughters, stepfathers and mothers, and on the list goes. Dedicated to: Former coworker, Liz Stonehill, still…
