Tomorrow you get to say your last good-by to the love of your life. I can’t imagine how that must feel. You are such a strong woman and I know time will heal the pain. Just remember we are always here for you no matter what. Love you!

    Dennis, I hope that time will heal your pain also. I know he was your best friend and partner in crime. You two were inseparable with a bond that only the two of you would understand. Much love to you and Madonna
