Rev. Ralph Laws was in church service Sunday,
September 18. Tuesday, September 20, he was in
the Sierra Vista Medical Hospital for knee surgery.
Late Tuesday evening, he telephoned Dr. Harter and
said he never felt better in all his life and couldn't
wait until he gets his other knee fixed in 6 months.
Wednesday morning, September 21, 2005, a blood
clot develop from his knee surgery. He was
immediately taken by helicopter to TMC in
Tucson, AZ.
In the late afternoon, code blue was called and Dr.
Marshall, the heart specialist, shortly thereafter, said
to Sister Laws that he was sorry to inform her but
Brother Laws had expired. His heart stopped beating
and there nothing else that could be done.
Sister Laws telephoned Miracle Valley and spoke with
Dr. Harter stating that Brother Laws had just passed
away.The Miracle Valley people prayed that the Holy
Spirit would comfort Sister Laws and the family, but
somehow the staff felt God was not finished with
Brother Laws at Miracle Valley, and besides that, it
would be a major setback at Miracle Valley to lose
such a giant of a man of God.
BUT WHAT A MIRACLE! 15-20 minutes after Brother
Laws expired, his heart started suddenly to beat
again. Slow at first, but soon later, it was back to
normal. THIS IS TRULY A MIRACLE! Medical doctors
said he would be brain dead since his heart had
stopped beating for such a long while, but tests
proved otherwise. He is not brain dead. Each day
that passes, he seems to be gaining his health back.
