Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton celebrated their fifth Thanksgiving on Friday in Mesa, Arizona, but there was an empty seat at the dinner table. After 43 years of marriage, Dench's husband, Lonnie Dench, passed away in April from complications caused by Covid-19."I wasn't looking forward to it at first because Lonnie wasn't going to be there. The past seven months have been so difficult, but this was really important to me," Dench, 63, told CNN.
"When Hinton first showed up on Dench's doorsteps, he was worried there would be awkward silences or moments where he wouldn't know what to say. What he didn't expect was how she would very quickly become one of his closest friends."Whenever we met, we would spend four or five hours, just talking and talking. It was never awkward, Wanda and Lonnie became two close best friends to me," Hinton said."There's nothing about her that is mean, or uncaring.
Eh bechara
Of course, a nice story brought down by the media covid monster. Almost like you guys are using the virus for gain. Weird.
He died 8 months ago....
Four years already?
Very sad God Bless them
This is a wonderful story about how they met and made Thanksgiving a tradition and unbelievably heartbreaking that she lost her husband to COVID.
