What a blessing to dedicate this book to my loving husband, Leroy Lee and my two beautiful girls along with their husbands, Tusha Lee Allen (Doug) and Francesca Lee Coleman (David). I would also like to dedicate this book to my precious grandchildren- Dejerra Symone Pradia, Josiah Dewayne Pradia, David Lamar Green, Jazell Elizabeth Coleman and Daydren Mauryon Coleman.
Also, let me thank God, for answering my prayers and fulfilling my vision as an author. It was God all by himself that anointed my spirit in this capacity. It is with great gratitude that I give him all the glory and praise for all of his marvelous works
Acknowledgements
To my beloved husband, Leroy Lee, my two beautiful daughters: Tusha Allen and Francesca Coleman and my sons-in-law: Douglas Allen, Mark Talley and David Coleman, thank each of you for your contributions and for providing invaluable assistance, in preparing this book. God bless each of you. I will forever be grateful for your love and support in my steps of faith. Love you all and thank you again.
To my Pastor Darel D. Hunt for allowing me to enhance my gift as the Holy Spirit directed me to write my plays and have them performed at E.S. Community Church. A special thanks to E.S. Community church family for supporting me in my plays from 2012 to the present.
To my dear sisters, Eleanor L. Hunt and Vanessa Hunt Vaughner. Thank you, Eleanor, for making yourself available as a musician for one of the plays. God has truly blessed you with a sanctified voice and as an anointed musician. To you Vanessa, thank you for making sure every cast member had their costumes ready and given to them on time. God bless you both for your invaluable service.
To my special friend Annette Guillory-Wallace who stepped in to co-write and direct the play Be Careful What You Say (Watch Your Tongue) when I had to step away because of my husband’s health. I will be forever grateful of how God used you in my life.
To each and every one of my friends and associates that contributed their service for each play that was put on. From those that co-wrote a play, to building and setting up the props, to copying the scripts for each character down to acting out your part and directing. Whatever you did for the success of the plays know that it is greatly appreciated, and you have my utmost thanks and gratitude. God bless each one of you.
I can’t thank my friends and family enough for supporting my vision. It was their love and support that encouraged me to complete this book. Indeed, it took some time to get this book published and finished but I believed through the grace of God that all things are possible through him.
