Acknowledgements: I give thanks to God for the family members and friends that played an intricate part in the development that aided my invention. My Mother (Daveeda Irene Phillips). is currently disabled and has a severe case of arthritis throughout her entire body. She currently lives in Chesapeake Rehabilitation Center, in Chesapeake, Va. My Father (the late John Willis Moore) a Retired Navy Veteran who had a great sense of humor, he loved art and was very passionate about drawing and painting self-portraits and somehow I have acquired his passion to draw and paint as well. My Aunt (Ethel Stovall), which I am truly grateful, is very diligent, unselfish and spends countless hours visiting her sister at the Rehab Center. My Aunt (Mary Serena Stovall) a Retired School Teacher who also visits her sister in the rehab center to encourage and share Gods word; was the first person to informed me with the truth of my Mother's deteriorating condition. She was the initial motivating factor and inspiration I needed which help me launch a wonderful idea that can now help others stay hydrated. My best friend and partner (Peter Helmut Meyer) is the co-inventor who encouraged, provided support and spent countless hours to discuss my idea at the very start when the invention was just an idea? And to everyone else that provided excellent customer service at the local hardware stores that aided in the assistance throughout the entire development process. As a result, I want to help others that are disabled by offering the extension device to them and to assist them each day in staying hydrated in any possible way that I can. This is my mission in life and the way I choose to lend a helping hand to the entire world.
While the forgoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalent of the specific method and examples herein. The invention should therefore not be limited by the above described method and examples but by all methods within the scope and guidance from the Holy Spirit within me to create the invention as claimed. And to God, be the glory.
