The quote of Abraham Lincoln, Everything I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother and my virtuous, pure and loving wife, Sandra, whom I thank for sharing my trials, problems and a great adventure on this earth. May our reunion be God-sanctioned and glorious in the Great Hereafter.
My regrets include not having been able to heal all my sick patients and watch all my loved ones feast upon the great truths of the Savior. My life has been challenging, but a remarkable journey. I thank God for allowing me to spend this time on earth, and for all who influenced my heart and soul.
