This is a true account of an incident that occurred in the life of my friend for forty six years and his wife, March 18, 2002. (Last Monday)
The two of them were vacationing in Franklin North Carolina: She said: "Let's take a ride."
As he drove them along they approached a road they had not traveled before and turned onto it.
The road wound it's way up the mountain. At it's end they were treated to a spectacular view of the valley below and the city in the distance.
An old Chinese Proverb reads: "Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking."
Sometimes there is no need for conversation. Just being with the person one loves is enough.
That is how it was as they drove back down the mountain.
About a hundred yards from the turn they would make, a shaft of light appeared. The light seemed to have substance. So much so that he tried to feel it but could not.
She said: "I think I'm going to pass out."
"Stay with me" he said as he reached out and took hold of her hand.
A moment later she was unconsious and he said to himself; "I've got to get her to the hospital."
At that exact instant the light retracted and he realized she was gone.
Good Bye, Pat.
We will all miss you.
