How about a few days. Eighty four year old Blanche Roberts was trapped under the body of her dead husband since Wednesday. Bruce Pitts, who delivers newspaper to their house, rescued her after four days on Sunday.

On Wednesday evening, Fred Roberts died of heart attack at the age of 77. While he died, he fell on his wife and her right leg was pinned under his weight. Fred was a man of considerable size, whereas Blanche is rather petite and frail. Though she tried, she could not get her leg free. The elderly couple lived along and no visitors came by to check. After a few days, Bruce noticed that the newspapers are piling up, which in his three years of service has never happened before at Roberts’ house. Though he never met the couple, he got tips in letters from her and she wrote that she prayed for him whenever the weather was bad. Bruce and his wife called her the prayer lady and were fond of her. On Sunday he decided to check out what was wrong after his route. He and his wife came by the house, and rang the door bell a few times. When they did not hear a response, they opened a side of the door and found her helplessly trapped only two feet away. She was not scared and was in good health. She thought her husband fell asleep.

A little prayer worked wonders for her.
