Prayer Request from Leigh Anne Shields – It is with a heavy heart to inform you that Mary Scott’s husband, Bob, passed away last night, Nov 18 around 8:30pm. She had taken him to the hospital that morning because he was feeling weak. They told her he was in A-fib and low blood pressure and an infection in his stomach. Later in the day they were considered and took him to the ICU. They said he was chatty up until he got very quiet and his heart stopped. There will be no service at this time due to COVID. Mary’s Step-Daughter and her husband are with Mary helping her navigate the next several days. Please pray for Mary and Bob’s families for peace and strength to get thru the next couple of weeks.
