A major
thank you to the amazing Volunteer Development Team too numerous to mention each
by name who joined forces to keep a constant flow of incoming stories, who
spread the word far and wide and offered constant words of support and
encouragement.
Thank you to those who spent their valuable time soliciting
stories, doing research, circulating flyers or simply participating in our
conference calls. You are truly the “village” that brought this project together
and we could not have done this without your prayers and support!
Special thanks

Special Thanks to Jerry Craft for his help and the contribution of his wonderful
cartoons!
And, most of
all, everyone who submitted their heartfelt stories, poems, quotes and cartoons
for possible inclusion in this book. While we were not able to use everything
you sent in, we know that each word came from a magical place flourishing within
your soul.
May the spirit of nature carry you gently towards peace!
We are truly grateful and love you all!
