For those unaware, Don is in the hospital in critical condition with a blood clot lodged in his lungs.

Below is a letter from his wife Nita.  Please read it and send your thoughts and prayers. - Stewart Wilson-Turner

“Dear friends and family,

I need you help and I’m reaching out to all of you. My wonderful husband is in critical condition at Cedar Sinai hospital; a blood clot is lodged in his lung and he is fighting for his life. This happened on Saturday after I’d taken him in for shortness of breath on Friday. He was doing very well and I left him talking and being funny on Friday evening. Without all the details, I got a call on Saturday morning as I was heading there to visit. There has been some lovely improvement yesterday but he is very sick right now. We need your concentrated prayers! Have your churches synagogues, temples send out prayers for Don’s healing and wellness. Light a candle, chant, whatever you do to send that loving energy and light to him, I would appreciate. And save a little for the girls and me. We have had small miracles already and if we all shout up to God collectively, I know how powerful that can be. He is fighting and we all are fighting with him. He is strong and is a warrior so I  thank you in advance for your prayers, good wishes and kindness on behalf of my family.

With a hopeful heart,

Nita and family”

    I was sorry to read of his passing this morning. I love voiceovers and he was the unquestioned king. I pray the lord blesses and keeps your family in this time of sorrow. He lives on in our memories and his great body of work and I trust the Lord has called him home and he is at peace.

    Sincerely,
    Lance
