Deb agreed to write the anthology's Dedication to Larry N. Morris
under very difficult circumstances. But, as only Deb will -- she went
one step further and penned a wonderful poem.

As I read both the dedication and poem, a very vivid image spread
across the pages--one of Deb seated at her computer, alternately  
straight-backed, intent, and  then slumped, shoulders trembling . . .
an affectionate smile in remembrance and glistening eyes in
sadness.

Thank you Deb, from all of Larry's family. We admire your
strength and stand with you in your grief. Alas, what might have
been.
