“Three times, she wept and when I ask why she was weeping, she said she was worried about her son and those who looked up to her. Also, three different times, she laughed out loud and when I asked why she was laughing, she said she knew she was going to rest very soon.
“Two times, she told me that she saw herself dressed in white robes with a crown.
“To my daughter at the right hand of God, resting with the Creator, we will meet one day, never to part again.”
