I Remember Everything

Hey, everyone. It’s me, Jenni (Argentrose) again. This past Thursday morning Dondra passed away in the hospital.   Bill was with her at the time, and while he is doing his best to keep it together, the love and support of friends and family have been vital.   So, please, if you see this and can, do reach out to Bill—either through a message here or an e-mail or a phone call. I know he’d really appreciate it. There is a lot that needs to be done still, and Bill is preparing for Dondra’s celebration of life gathering as well as dealing with all the little details that need to be taken care of after a loved one passes. It can be hard to express, sometimes, how vital and important someone is in our lives, but I know Dondra means a great deal to Bill.   Despite their ups and downs, they never stopped loving one another, and I know it will be difficult for him to be without her now. So, please be patient with us while we process these events and our own love, sadness, and grief. Your

Bill asked me to send you all an update on how everything is going—and also to give an update about why there hasn’t been much written here about the podcast of late. At the end of September Dondra asked to be admitted to the hospital and while there, she, Bill, and the doctors talked.   Dondra then began hospice care, and they’ve kept her at the hospital to keep her comfortable and make sure that they can manage her pain more easily. Bill has been with her at the hospital during this time and work on the podcast has, obviously, been put on the back burner while their family has been dealing with all of this.   That doesn’t mean there will be no podcast, but for the time being, and for the foreseeable future, we’re taking a break from production.
