DR RAY CALLED FOR ME, AND I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CPR BEING ASSISTED BY RN WIFE AND SOME OTHER MEMBERS. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP HIM ALIVE UNTIL THE MEDICS ARRIVED. HE EITHER DIED ON HIS WAY TO THE HOSPITAL OR SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVING. I HAVE KNOWN REV BYRD FOR YEARS AS A FRIEND AND DEVOUT CHRISTIAN!! Link to post Share on other sites
