CAN YOU THINK OF A BETTER PLACE TO DIE? HE WAS SITTING IN HIS USUAL PEW BUT FAILED TO STAND FOR THE OPENING SONG. 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!!
