Please pray
I know that we all like to cut up and have a good time but I need to be serious I have known this man and worked with him for many years and he is a great man!
As many of you may already be aware, Ray Knight, an honorably retired patrol sergeant from the Lancaster Police Department, was viciously shot on Saturday, June 27, 2008. Sgt. Knight along with his granddaughter stopped at an accident to see if they could help. Unbeknownst to Sgt. Knight, the occupants had just committed an armed robbery and carjacking. Sgt Knight was shot in the head by the driver of the wrecked vehicle with a .45 pistol.
He was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. He has lost his right eye and it is questionable if he will regain full vision in his left eye. The rising cost of gasoline and food is extremely taxing on the Knight family. Chief Hugh White and his department have set up an account at BB&T for those who would like to donate to help defer cost for the family. Anyone who would like to contribute can do so by mailing a check or money order to:
BB&T
600 N Main St.
Lancaster, SC 29720-2138
Checks should be made payable to BB&T. In the “For” or “Memo” line simply write RAY KNIGHT. Questions can be directed to BB&T and they can be reached at 800-226-5228. I have attached a flyer to this email. Will each of you please disseminate this email to your respective contacts.
Ray and his family also needs your prayers! In addition to praying for him, will you please take the time to mail him a get-well card or a note? It can be mailed to:
Paul Ray Knight – Patient
CMC – Main
PO Box 32861
Charlotte, NC 28232
Thanks for all of your help!
