Pray Request From Sherry Reed

UPDATE 9/23/09

David’s wife, daughter and father decided to allow him to be with the Lord at 1:30 today. Please keep the family in your prayers as there is a farm that needs to be run without him or potentially sold. The family members are all Christians, but they will deeply miss David and truly need prayer for discernment in the decisions ahead. Thank you to those who prayed and continue to do so.

My friend at work sent this to me today.

“Please pray for: David Bennett (57 years old), my mom’s husband’s (Tuck's) son in law, who had a stroke. David tried calling someone on the phone from the farm, was talking gibberish; so someone from Covington went to the farm and found him in the bed with his right side paralyzed and unconscious. He is in the hospital in Atlanta. They did surgery to stop the bleeding in his brain. Other tests revealed the hemorrhage was coming from some metastasized brain cancer tumors(I think) which he did not know about. He takes a blood thinner already so that may have exacerbated it. While talking with Tuck Sunday afternoon, Neal (the neighbor)came in to say David has pneumonia and an infection. The doctors will discuss options with Carrie (David’s wife) in the next few days. It does not sound good at all. Tuck sounded nervous talking about it but realistic.”
