To my darling daughter, Megan:
For your wit, patience, and love;
For understanding beyond your years;
For finding the positive in every situation; and
For teaching me how to keep work in perspective.
You are a blessing.
I love you.
—Mom
In loving memory of my mother, Mary Alfonso—you are always on my mind!
