Another added: “Oh, @diannebuswell, I’m so sorry. And you keep going out every week with criticism towards Bobby and harsh scores, and your Dad has always been with you every step of the way and love his messages every week. Sending all the love and prayers, and he can do this.”

“In the meantime, take the right time for yourself and fight while you enjoy your beautiful and amazing daughter @diannebuswell smashing every week during the “concert”  Let’s Goooooo.”
