To my One and Only Soul Mate, ............ YVONNE,

More than twenty years ago, I fell in love with your beauty before we came face to face. I saw it in your mom's sweet spirit, and I felt it in that 8 x 10 photo of you which she kept on the old piano. Then we met at the West Indies College Alumni Homecoming service. And throughout my entire being, the butterflies began to flutter as you sang, "When God lets His sun shine, nature paints a pretty face, ...when the sun shines, little birds begin to sing, ... mankind's living or his dying depends on if we'll let God's Son shine." Our friendship sprouted that evening over your mom's piano as we talked and sang until the sun came up, recounting God's goodness and love in each of our lives. And then you returned to Northern California.
