“For everyone calling I don’t mean to ignore you it just hurts to talk still. To let y’all know what’s going on with me, I have covid-19, pneumonia and kidney failure. I’m in Chesapeake General and I’ll be here for a few days. I appreciate the love and support. Please continue to pray for me and be my extra strength. I love you all…” Ave said on Facebook.
