To my husband, Jack, my love, thank you for your peaceful heart that guides our family, your devotion to Mother Mary,
and your amazing faith in God and in me. I thank you for the miraculous gifts of Tommy, Johnny, and Patrick,
whose love and laughter inspire my soul. I’m proud to be your mom.
Thank you all for believing in me, art-directing me, and for living the dream.
To my Mom and Dad (Tom and Carol Chisholm), and their eternal love, whom
I love with all my heart.
Dad, thanks for outfitting the
entire neighborhood with jerseys and sports equipment. You made the backyard
a “field of dreams.”
Mom, you let us make forts in the family room and had an endless supply of Popsicles, chocolate chip cookies, and lemonade ready.
As Tim would say, “Mrs. Chis, Mrs. Chis, Mrs. Chis, we got a thing going on"...
He loved you dearly.
