*First, I would like thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by whose enduring mercy and grace has saved me and who guides my path.  Without Him, I am nothing.  Every day and every moment is dedicated to Him.  May His name forever be praised!

*My husband, John W. Alexander who is the love of my life!  His constant support, encouraging words, kind listening ear, strong loving arms and his steady, unfailing love and dedication to God, me, our marriage, and our family is truly awe-inspiring!  He is my rock in the stream of life and there will never be enough lifetimes to show him how much I love him.

*My mom, Diane Hansen, whose strength has been an inspiration to me.  I am my mother's daughter and very thankful that God chose her to be my mother.  She is a true survivor and thriver especially in the wake of breast cancer and the loss of my father.

*My father, David K. Hansen, who passed away in 2000.  He was always kind and gentle.  He supported me in anything I wanted to do and he was simply a great dad.

*My father and mother-in-love, John C. and Diane Alexander, who have been my second parents.  They have always shown me the greatest respect and unconditional love, and have accepted me into their family as their daughter.  Dad's business wisdom and advice has made my path easier and Mom's gentle, God-fearing spirit, encouragement and wonderful home-cooked meals when I have been busy, "or just to get the family together," has been a Godsend.

*My sister, Jennifer Powell, who has always watched my back.  Her smarts, strength and feistiness just "gets things done."  She has always been there for me and I trust her with my life. 

*To Stephanie Helms and Christine Daugherty, my crusaders, cheerleaders and prayer warriors.  With their love, input, prayers and wisdom, I can never fail.

*To Valerie Machado, who believes in me and is a constant support and helper.  She has been a faithful friend through the lean times as well as times of great blessing.

*To Mike Gatlin from M&M Productions, whose endless hours of everything from production work, to "I'm going to crash your studio", to what kind of computer do you think I should get, to internet and tech support stuff, to lighting, sound and video services, to an ear to bend, to DVD production, to filming, to crazy corporate productions (hey, can you just put a big white hole in the screen, make the outside black and then make the hole change colors?), to seeing visions become reality, to ...the list is endless for the things I can count on from him.  I could not have done this or been this far without him.
