A message to Donna (of the Grateful Dead)

Almost three-year-old Floyd loves the Grateful Dead "with Donna from 77" and was talking about sending her a message during dinner this evening (most of which ended up on his shirt!)

How could I refuse? It's been an unbelievably challenging time for Floyd... his father was diagnosed with AML (leukemia) in early November and is in the hospital undergoing his third round of chemo as he awaits a bone marrow transplant. Somehow, the kid manages to keep smiling... and truckin.

Donna, this one's for you!!

p.s. Apologies to Keith... I should've mentioned his name when Floyd asks who plays piano.

Your three year old has better tast in music than most 30 year olds!

Aw, how cute. Getting Jerry in the band (and two Bob's) may prove a bit difficult, but let's not worry about that.

OMG I love this. JG if that doesn't give you more power to kick it's ass nothing will. Stay strong - all of you. Fontanas are in your corner sending lots of healing vibes your way (and maybe a few Donna wails to boot)

What can I say, the kid has good taste! :) A band with Donna and Brent, though? That'd be interesting. Sorry Keith. Hey Floyd, what about "Twuckin" and "Tehwapin?"
