““My father died this morning, peacefully and seemingly pain free. I was there and able to say goodbye. For the last two hours of his life, he was surrounded by the energy and symbols you taught me. I really felt that I made a connection with him even though his physical body was not conscious. It was the closest that I have felt to him in a long while. Once again, I am so grateful for your teachings. You are a very gifted individual with much to offer. Thank you for all that you have taught me and for being so inspirational.” ”
