Dedication from Dolly Venables
This book is dedicated to my father,
Lester Ray Lackey, whose calm and quiet presence
taught me the importance of kindness and compassion.
He led by example, showing gentleness
and respect to everyone in his life.
He instilled in me the value
of treating others with the same kindness we wish to receive.
Thank you, Dad, for the invaluable lessons
that have shaped who I am today.
Your love and teachings continue to guide me,
and I cherish the memories we shared.
I love and miss you.
