To My Dad... For someone to care and share, for someone to give love 
unconditionally in equal parts. You taught us that patience is a virtue; by showing us you were never too busy and always had time for us. Thank God for giving me many wonderful years with one of my best friends...my Dad. "May the Wheels of Justice (God's will) continue to turn" 
Love You Always...Robbin Lynn
