SPECIAL LATE NIGHT UPDATE ON RAY PRICE
I have just read on Facebook the following message that I cannot confirm at this time, but I believe it is from Cliff Price, as follows:
Dear Friends, I have said my last goodbye to my Dad, Mr. Ray Price. I drove to the ranch where I was allowed to see my Dad for a brief time. My Dad is in a coma and I believe he may pass at any time. I told him I loved him and I think he tried to communicate that he loved me. God Bless my Dad – Clifton Ray Price
I am glad that Cliff was allowed to see and spend time with his Dad. It was probably the most important time of Cliff’s life and I believe that all of our prayers were heard for Cliff to be with his Dad. I know that Ray let Cliff know in some way that he loved him also. Please continue to pray for Ray at this time, and also for Cliff that he was able to see his Dad. I feel so badly for Cliff, but I know there must be some relief for him to have spent time with his Dad.
Please keep Ray Price in your thoughts and prayers, also his son Cliff, and his wife Janie. I wish everyone could know Ray Price as I have been privileged to know him. He is truly a special person and I have been so fortunate to know him for so long. I know in my heart that our Blessed Lord is watching over Ray and will be his guiding light through his health issues. Ray knows how much we love him and that our prayers are being heard. The Good Lord will stay by Ray’s side during this time and he will touch him with his love and blessings.

“Janie Price and I had another telephone session today, Wednesday. She informed me that Ray is determined to go to his ranch-home and she is arranging to fulfill his wish with the doctors today, hoping they can return home today or tomorrow, where he will be provided with hospice care. Ray is more grateful than ever to you precious people who have provided prayers and deep, loving concern. I want to echo that thanks to you.”

From East Texas Medical Center:
Country Music Hall of Fame member and American country music singer Ray Price, 87, plans to leave East Texas Medical Center in Tyler today to go to his home in Mt. Pleasant for home hospice care.
Price was diagnosed in 2011 with pancreatic cancer, and despite aggressive treatment, the cancer has recently spread to his liver, intestines and now his lungs. He has been in and out of hospital care for the past few months and was recently readmitted with complications. Price and his wife of 45 years, Janie, have decided to not pursue any further aggressive treatment.
“Ray is alert and aware of his surroundings and making decisions,” said Janie. “With God’s blessing he has not had extreme pain. But it’s with great sadness that I announce to you today that my beloved husband has entered the final stages of his cancer that he has battled for 25 months. Anyone who knows Ray is aware that he has strong convictions and great faith in God. It’s his decision to leave the hospital and return home to spend his final days on his beloved ranch surrounded by the comfort of his home, family and friends.”
Price wanted to give a final message to his fans. “I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years and I hope I haven’t let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I’m going to be just fine. Don’t worry about me. I’ll see you again one day.”
Janie thanks the fans for all of their love and messages and wanted to let the fans know the best way to send them a note is on their Facebook page or you can mail a card to:
For Perseverance Today
If things get tough today, Lord — and in all hard times
Let me stay motivated and calm. Let me look at how far I have come
Rather than how far I still have to go. Let me continue counting my blessings,
Not what I’ve been missing. May every day bring new chances to grow,
New beautiful things to see, new plans to do,
And new goals to pursue, as every new day is Your miracle day.
Amen
