About three weeks after Mom went to be with the Lord one of Paul’s workers had a series of several strokes and was in the hospital. I had not seen his wife in years but felt as though I needed to go to the hospital to see her. Someone showed me who she was, and as I walked up to her, she hugged me. As we were talking she said, “Didn’t your mom just pass away a few weeks ago?” I nodded my head yes. She said, “And you are up here with me?”
Her husband was on life support and was not expected to make it. I wanted to see him. When I went into his ICU room, I met his dad and a few of his relatives. A nurse said we needed to leave the room. I asked his dad if I could say a prayer for his son, and he said yes. Everyone had left the room, and I knew this was probably the last time I would see him alive. I put my hand on his arm and prayed. I said something to the effect that he was going to Heaven and would see Mom. I knew he was saved, but I did not know about his wife. I went into the hall and asked her if I could pray with her, and we did. I kept wondering about her salvation, so in her sympathy card I told her I hoped she had asked Jesus in her heart, so she can have the same peace her husband had.
