Shirley Willis hospitalized
 Following an accident on Wednesday night gospel singer Shirley Willis in now fighting for her life in a Kingston Hospital. Up to submission of this news brief, the singer was said to be in a coma. Details are sketchy, but it is understood that the singer was alone when she crashed.
Shirley Willis was the unforgettable leading vocal of the age-old gospel group, The Grace Thrillers. One of the most visible and renowned member of the original group, Shirley's compelling voice in popular songs like "By the Grace of God I am Saved", "Can't Even Walk", "Oh What a Sunrise" and "Not My Will" has won the hearts of Jamaicans at home and Jamaicans through out the Diaspora.
Shirley's marital bliss with Noel Willis, eventually came to an end and they legally parted in 2004. Shirley's disassociation with the Grace Thrillers group was also official at that time. Since the dissolve of the original Grace Thrillers, Shirley has released one album, "Trust Him More". Shirley recently joined the newly formed group Thrillers United which includes former Grace Thrillers members Sandra Brooks and Dian Barnett.
YardFlex prayers is with Shirley and we are praying for a speedy recovery.

My prayers are with Shirley. She is a great woman of God! I happened to celebrate with her at one of her concerts in Chicago a few weeks ago, and my soul was truly blessed. I love her songs so much. They are very uplifting. I'm sure the good Lord will heal her. I'll keep her in my prayers.

For our God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we may ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. We are praying that God will supernaturally perform a miracle in you Sis Shirley, bring you out, so God will be further gloried. Your testimony will be even greater, and your faith more resolute, and your steps firmer. Prayer is the answer right now and we pray that people will earnestly pray for a speedy and supernatural miracle. When the devil says no, GOD say YES,YES.

I was at a concert where Shirley ministered 3 weeks ago. I remember her powerful testimony of how God delivered her from death recently when she underwent emergency surgery. I love Shirley so much I've been listening to her since the 70s or 80s i was just a little girl then and i'm now in my 30s.I was so happy when i met Shirley last year and was able to see her again recently. my prayers are with her and her family. God is able.
The devil want to destroy a powerful annointed woman of God BUT he is a liar. KR.

Ps. 41:v1,2&3 Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strenghen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
May his peace that passeth all understanding be you and family.
Minister Shirley the last time you ministered at our church in the Bronx last year I was deeply blessed by your ministry. I do not believe God is ready for you as yet. Our God has taken you so much and I am sure He will take you through this also.There are still many more who will be transformed by your ministry.
We will continue to pray for you and you family, see you soon.
