SEA GLASS A COLLECTION OF POEMS AND OTHER WRITINGS BY LILLIAN R. FREEDMAN. This dedication was written for our wonderful mother's 80th birthday. Both she and this dedication have withstood the test of time. It is now our pleasure to celebrate her 95th. She has always been a woman ahead of her time, blessed with many extraordinary qualities: a keen mind, a good heart, generous in every way, a dispenser of sage advice, a solver of problems, a superb hostess, a successful business woman, a devoted wife and most of all a supportive and loving mother, who has made all that we have possible. With all our love, Mona, Roger and Julie
