To My Dear Friend and Mentor, Violette - Thank you for teaching me to write better poetry. Thank you for co-authoring a book of poetry with me - how that boosts the confidence of a novice, to share that experience with someone of your stature! You did it, I'm know, to help me grow as a poet. I am thankful, too, that the Lord allowed you to live to realize how very much you are loved by so many. I will miss you.

My love,

Gwen
