Sarah Stevenson’s sister Elloree Erwin sent in this update on Sarah Stevenson’s condition. Erwin’s Sept. 2 update on Mrs. Stevenson’s condition is here. Further updates will be shared as they are available.

Monday, Sept. 14, 2020, 5:25 p.m.

Good afternoon all. I was able to talk with Sarah a few minutes ago, and she is her old self. She didn’t mention anything about leaving this world. Thank God for this. She said to tell everyone that she loves you very much. Also, that she really appreciates all the cards she’s received. I told her about the calls I’ve received asking about her.

If, and when, she’s settled into a permanent location, we’ll provide that address. Until then, please continue sending them to her home address [2000 St. Paul St., Charlotte NC 28216]. And, as always, we appreciate your continued support and prayers.
