Special Thanks:
And after the curtain has fell and the crowd has departed. After the popcorn has been popped and the programs are discarded. After the pain and sweat have been rewarded, I must give thanks to my family and friends, my wife, my son and my daughter. And to all of you that see me now, know that it would not be possible if it were not for the one that saved me, remade me and gave me now. Thank you to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and to all of you that have made me the man I am now. May God bless you and keep you. I love you forever and more.
Thank you all
