I'm not real sure how to begin telling this story but I'm going to make it as easy as possible. In December 1993, my only son lay dying in the hospital. The amount of grief and pain one feels is devastating. My dear husband had decided to take me outside for a breath of fresh air and some time away from all the well meaning friends and family. On the elevator, I neither saw nor heard what apparently was going on around me because I had the most beautiful feeling of peace. I looked up into the sweetest face, not young or old, not really beautiful but peaceful. I felt as if it were a lady.

She had taken my hand in hers and said, "I don't know your pain but, I know it's great. I just wanted you to know that God loves you."

As I was about to thank her for her kindness, the elevator doors opened and I looked up at my husband and back to her. She was gone. Hours later, when my Dear Son passed on, I became aware of something in my hand. I looked down as I opened my fist and saw a tiny gold, angel. I remembered what the sweet lady had said. I knew then that I had seen a God sent Angel. The peace I felt at that moment has never left me.
