Please see below an email that was sent regarding Mrs. Bessie Reece, the mother of Mrs. Nan Carpenter. Presiding Bishop Ron Carpenter, Sr. has requested that we remember Nan and her entire family during this time. Let's pray for Mrs. Reece that she would receive a touch from the Lord in her body.

Thank you so much for your prayers. May God bless you today.

In Christ,
Rev. David Richardson, Jr.

I have been in touch with Nan over the week-end. She is in Nashville, N.C. staying with my aunt who lives 2 miles from the nursing home where Nan’s mother currently lives. Her mother has now been diagnosed with Stage 2 Alzheimer’s and is in a deteriorating condition. Nan has been “on call” 24/7. She stays every day and has had to rush back to the nursing home during the night a couple of times this week.

They had to take her mother back to the hospital Friday night and she is to be transported back to the nursing home on Monday. Nan has a meeting with hospice Monday morning at 8:00 EST. They do not give her mother much hope of living until Christmas. I leave this coming Saturday to join Nan for what was supposed to be Christmas with our children. We do not know at this point what the next two weeks will hold. Remember our family in prayer and especially Nan and her mother. Thank you for your prayers and support! We love you dearly!
Sincerely,
Ronald W. Carpenter, Sr.
