This book is dedicated to my life partner, Adelaide Knox Jones, who has shared my life journey for forty-four years. Her love has lifted my spirit and been the wind beneath my wings. This book is also dedicated to our parents, Lt. Colonel George Knox and Yvonne Wright Knox, and Reverend Edward W. Jones and Marie Carter Jones. I thank God for their lives, their faith, and their commitment to their children. Finally, this book is dedicated to our children, Victoria, Evonne, Michael, and Nigel. I pray that they will know God’s love and grace in their lives, as have Addie and I.
