Dear friends,

Last week I forwarded a prayer request for a woman who fell off a horse and
was near death's door.  Here is an update from a friend of the family.
Please remember the family in your prayers . . . God moved in marvelously
unexpected ways:

Dear Friends,

Some of you have already received this update but for those who haven't I am
passing this along now.

The reason no one heard from me after the initial letter was sent out was
because I was down at the hospital quite often, along with at least a
hundred other people.  Every night there was prayer and worship in
Vanderbilt Hospital's chapel, the likes of which the hospital had never
seen.

We were all very encouraged when her husband Bill, took off Carol Ann's
ventilator.  There were always people surrounding her with prayer.  People
even slept on the floor of her hospital room, up to 12 people at a time.
Michael W. Smith was able to sneak (with the nurse smiling and turning her
head away) a keyboard in there one night and there was worship going on
around her bed.  God brought another man out of a coma  when one of the men
prayed for him to open his eyes.  His mom and sister were sitting by his bed
when it happened.

For reasons beyond our own, God did not bring Carol Ann out.  She was only
expected to live 24 hours but she hung in there for three days.  As the days
went by, her breathing became labored until she took her last breath.  Bill
was by her side when that happened.

Carol Ann was one of those remarkable people that made everyone feel
special...even those she hardly knew.  She was a woman of prayer and love
and dedication to her family and the body of Messiah.   She will be missed,
not only by her family and her friends, but by every mom and teacher at CPA
where her children go to school.

Thank you for your prayers for her family.  We know she is with the Lord and
enjoying His presence.  She will be missed by we who are left here.....

Lovingly yours,
Jennifer, Marty and Misha Goetz
