She was a 50-year-plus member of TUMC and active in circle, chorus, and mission trips. When she was in her 70s, she had a health episode that left her in the hospital as she was perplexed and was running a fever. One night, she kept talking about dying. As a nurse, I knew sometimes that people knew this would happen. So, I tried to get her to change the subject but to no avail. I climbed into bed with her and said, “If you are going, then I am going with you.” It was like a light bulb came on. She hugged me, kissed me, and was so excited about the funeral. People were coming, and everyone together was going to heaven. She was so happy. What I am saying is~~I have never heard anyone else talk this way, and I have never read a book or seen a movie with this kind of situation. I feel the Holy Spirit was there with us. I thought HE was with us and told us we don’t need someone to accompany us when we die. Jesus will be there holding our hand. -Susie Andrews Thomsen
