Dedication
I dedicate this book to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Williams, and my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Carr and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Williams. By the examples of how they lived their lives, they taught me what it means to age with strength and humor, love and faith. And that is the best gerontology lesson anyone can teach.
