I can't tell you how sorry I am about your loss. Paulette and I work together and have for a few years. Over these few years I have heard and learned of Donny and how important he is and always will be to her. I know you all must be suffering greatly and I know there are no words or actions that can alleviate the pain, but friends and loved ones can hold you up while you endure it. I will pray to God that he gives you all the strength, the understanding and the stamina to get through this. Much love and peace to all of you.
Sincerely,
Constance A. Rainey
