In 1980, my grandmother passed away, I was very close to her. I lived in Virginia, and didn't have a lot of money, and my grandmother was being buried in southern Ohio.

Well, my brother came and got me from Ohio to take me back to Ohio for her funeral. He came in the evening, and he and my husband drank a couple beers, and I had been crying for 24 hours. I decided I would go to sleep, or try to, so I went upstairs to bed.

It was August, very warm out, and i had my bedroom window up. Apparently I finally dozed off, but i felt someone looking at me. Thinking it was my husband I looked up and there was something standing there, I guess my guardian angel, it was about 4 feet tall, it had a long flowing dress on, with long grayish white hair to the floor, both hair and dress or gown blowing in the breeze, but it didn't have a face, it was just white and kind of see through, a very ethereal looking vision. I believed it to be of male gender, ( why I don't know ) and I felt it communicating to me that i was to stop crying, my grandmother was in a place far better than she had been, and she was fine and happy.

A feeling of peace came over me, and I looked over to see if my husband had seen it, and he was up on his elbow, he had seen it also. I always thought I would be afraid of something like that, but it was the most beautiful experience I have ever encountered.
