hearing Onna White talk about Jack is so upsetting yet proud of him~

This is great to watch but it does not seem complete and glad to see someone that was in the background on the success of Oliver Twist because Onna White's chorography was great and fun to watch. And Shani Wallis made her character relatable because she gave her character dimension. It was kind of sad Onna asking about where about of some of the people that had already died. And she is no longer with us. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
