August 27, 2008 – UPDATE 2:12 PM PST (5:12 PM EST)
He’s doing good…continuing to stabilize and improve slowly but
surely. Lots of reason to be optimistic. It’s really good to see him
making progress.August 26, 2008 – UPDATE 5:24 PM PST (8:24 PM EST)
To all of Don’s friends in the Voice-over Community:
Don’s condition continues to stabilize. There is significant progress
and while he has quite a ways to go yet, there is every reason to keep
the faith. Many of you have expressed your feelings and chosen to
respect the privacy that Don and his family need right now. One could
ask no more of you. This show of respect is deeply appreciated by
those closest to the situation. Don and I often remark that we are
more brothers at this point than just best friends. Yet, as your
outpouring of support shows, Don has many “best friends.” He is
clearly important to us all .Don’s wife, Nita, read every single comment that has been posted and
was truly touched and strengthened by your words and prayers. Please
see Nita’s response below. As for me, please accept a simple “thanks”
for being there for my ol’ pal.Sincerely,
Paul Pape

To all of you beautiful voice angels,
I am overflowing with gratitude for the responses you’ve sent on
behalf of Don and our family. I read each of your comments and tears
of joy fell with each sentence, prayer and good wish. It’s so easy to
live your life in pursuit of your dreams and not realize how you are
affecting others in a positive way; that in some way by living your
dreams you inspire others to pursue theirs. I am so honored to have
you all praying and rooting for us during this time. Don is a
warrior, larger than life, but in all this he is always slightly
amused that you find him some sort of “guru”. He never gets used to
that and lives his life with a kindness, humility, and dignity of a
“small town boy who done good”. Your kindness overwhelms me and fills
me with great peace. My husband is a great man to me not just because
of his work and the trail he’s blazed in your business, but because he
is so generous of spirit, a terrific husband and father, and the love
of my life. Thank you for being in our village of believers and
pray-ers as Don works his way back to the mic! I’ll be sure he knows
of your kindness.Peace and blessings,
Nita
Wife of Don
I’m very glad to read these excellent updates, and continue to pray for complete and swift restoration.
