00:14late night call for prayers on social media. I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker

00:21than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Anyway, I wanted to put everybody's

00:27mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. And I

00:33appreciate your prayers because I'm a person of faith. I can always use the prayers for

00:38anything and everything. But I want you to know that I'm okay.

01:13know that I was okay. So anyhow, that's what I wanted to say. And I'm not ready to die yet.

01:20I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working. So I love you for caring

01:26and keep praying for me.

01:29All right. Thank you, Dolly. We will. Her sister, Freda, later clarified online that her prayer
