Southern Gospel singer Karen Peck Gooch of Karen Peck and New River has recently asked for prayers for her husband. Rickey Gooch has written a letter of thank you to all fans and friends who have prayed for him and those whohave encouraged the family during this difficult time.

Open Letter From Rickey Gooch

Thanks everyone for your prayers. I have been overwhelmed by your kindness and support. The Doctor says that the PET scan looks good and normal, and as far as he is concerned, I am cured. I will go for a check-up once a month over the next year.

Please continue to pray for healing of the inner lining of my mouth, tongue, and the saliva glands. It is still a challenge to eat certain foods. With the Lord's help, I am persevering.

Thanks for lifting me up through all of this. It has been a trying time but God has been faithful.

Love y'all,

Rickey Gooch

Please help Karen, Susan and Jeff spread the word by using this suggested Hashtag for social media: #PrayNow .
