Husband of woman famous for Thanksgiving text to stranger dies of coronavirus

Lonnie Dench, whose wife, Wanda, sent a text presumably to her grandson but actually to Jamal Hinton four years ago, died over the weekend, according to Hinton, who spent the last four Thanksgivings with the family.

Hinton, 20, previously had tweeted that both Lonnie and Wanda had tested positive for the novel coronavirus. As of Thursday, Wanda was no longer sick, Hinton said. When Wanda sent that first text in 2016, thinking it was to her grandson, Hinton responded by asking her to send a photo of herself so he could confirm it was his own grandmother.

I don’t understand some of the ignorant comments. I recall their story from years ago, such a kind family. It’s heartbreaking to hear her husband passed. My condolences to the entire family 😞🙏

My condolences to the families she was a sweet women

His name is Lonnie give him some respect

Damn dude. 💔💔💔

Blacked. com😊😊🇺🇸🇬🇧

I remember that story 😟🙏🥺

kingjamal08 My deepest sympathy to you and the family you made. Having followed your story when I first heard it, I look for an update every Thanksgiving because that gets my holiday season off to a great start. RIP Lonnie. Wanda, fight on. We give thanks for people like you.

They are trying to insinuate that perhaps the wife and boy will end up together now.

Good thing he didn’t take hydroxychloroquine. Could’ve been dangerous. It’s not fully tested yet...😒

anguished to read it.

I do not understand how the Trump Presidency? revolving Administration can jump start an economy without testing at least 50% of Americans? We actually need those size of numbers to have some small idea where we are at in this Covid-19 Pandemic. SEE 2nd wave Spanish Flu 1918

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bad things happening to good people 😭

What?

😢

Oh no

💔
