I think we've talked about this before.......... but when my son was passing he saw his cousin, Mary Ann, standing against the wall. She had been dead at least 10 years, maybe more. She was just standing there, smiling at him and waiting. She came to him here in St. John's Hospital and when we moved him to OHSU in Portland, she showed up there also. Scott talked to her and even asked her to have a chair.
He wasn't close to Mary Ann, she was about 10 years older than him and not much into playing with the little kids when they got together. The last time he actually saw her was at a Christmas reunion we had when she was being treated for breast cancer. She had lost her hair and looked pretty thin and sickly. But when he saw her....... he actually said to her..........wow you got your hair back! I don't know why he said that, but he must have seen her like her remembered her before the cancer.
She died that next May 13 after that reunion.. While she was dying she saw her dad (my brother) and her grandparents (my parents) in the hospital room. Her dad was quite the joker, always teasing her and the other kids, always teasing everyone ..... and while she was laying there, she'd laugh and say things back to him..... She lacked 2 hours of dying the same day of the year, May 13, and same time as her dad. She was his first daughter after four boys so she was extra special to him. They had a very close bond. She couldn't take it when he died, it almost killed her. Five years later, to the day, she died.
So, she shows up to take Scott home. I was surprised it was her, not his father or one of his grandparents.... all of them have been gone for years.
Anyway, I found this site on the internet, one of those NDE..... and I read it. Actually, I printed it out and read it. It was very interesting.

It's supposed to be only 26 pages long, but the way it prints out, it's more than that. But, you could read it on line, at least some of it. The book was written many years ago........when it was probably considered a sin to talk about things like that. You'll probably have to cut and paste....... I doubt if the link works.
Very interesting. At least visit this page and read that..... it's very interesting.

When I get some energy back, I'll tell you about seeing John Edward last Friday night in Seattle.
