My name is Justine Hoskins and I am the widow of Donald Hoskins. I just want to thank you for your prayers and concerns. He was a very kind and gentle soul who never deserved this kind of brutality. My sole consolation is that the good Lord has him now and he will never have to deal with this kind of senseless and merciless violence again. I thank you for your kind consideration and may God bless you.
