To my loving Mother, Paula B. McLain:

 You were always there when I needed someone to help me find my focus and balance. Your smile and kindness would pierce the confusion in my life. I am so grateful to have had a person in my life that would go the extra mile for me. I know that anyone that knew you understands what I have said. I know that anyone who knew you know exactly what I mean. You are in the hands of our Creator and justly so. Rest in peace my beloved Mother and may God be with you.
