Lori, I was down a Youtube rabbit hole, and was listening to some music that reminded me of You and Donny. When I looked him up, it NEVER occurred to me that I would find this. My heart is broken and my deepest sympathies go in your direction. If ever you wish to get in touch, catch up, I would love to reminice about times past. I miss both of you, and I am so sad to find out he is no longer with us.
