I dedicate this book to my Mother, Katherine Elizabeth Thren (Kay), who thoughts and phrases I have put on paper. She has been a spiritual guidance to all that have known her for so many years. My mother had a stroke about ten years ago that left her right side paralyzed; she left us August 28, 2000 at the age of 89. My father had Multiple Scleroses since he was 23 years old and he passed away at 92 years old on November 24, 2000. They have had many hardships through the years; I guess that is what guided her to the spiritual being that she had become. Many of us didn’t understand her drive for the spiritual side, but God was always with her. If only these words would help at least one person, she would know her work on earth was not in vain. We love you and miss you, mother. Your loving daughter, Mary Ann Miller
