Experience Description

After the accident occurred, I was trapped under a Toyota Tundra truck. I had watched my left ankle completely turn around and the bones snap. In my mind, I knew it would have to be amputated. The truck had my right foot pinned and my leg was going to break off, so I asked the people that got out of the truck to please lift the truck off me. I would pull my right foot out to save it. They lifted the truck, I pulled my right foot out, and at the same time, I felt my entire pelvis come apart. I could tell I was bleeding out.

I was wearing a pair of shorts with my cell phone in the pocket. I reached in my pocket and got my phone and then I called my fifteen-year-old daughter Hannah. We were both working and she was two miles away on the same road as I. I told her not to be upset, but she needed to come to my location as quickly as she could. I told her an accident had occurred, and I felt like I might be about to pass out. I wanted her to go with me in the ambulance because we were a hundred miles from home. She did not drive, so she would become stranded. Next, I called my husband and tried to tell him that I thought I was dying and I wanted to say goodbye and to thank him for the last thirty-five years of marriage and that I loved him.

By this time, the police had arrived. I asked them to please take care of my daughter and my puppet that I had on my hand that was just out of my reach. I do remember telling him that my driver's license was in my purse in my car, which had been hit. He told me that I probably had a broken neck and to lie still.

The paramedics arrived and saw I was wrapped up in barbed wire, which had wrapped around me from the fence nearby. They were trying to figure out how to transport me - get me untangled and out of there.

I remember seeing my daughter's legs and shoes, running around and around the vehicle. I knew she would be safe. The police would take care of her. I knew then I could just let go. The paramedics had a hard time with the situation. They thought it would be just as fast to take me by ambulance as to air-evacuate me to the hospital. Finally, they got me on a backboard, and, as they were lifting me from the ground, they dropped me. My daughter became so upset; she just lost it. Then they loaded me into the ambulance and transported me to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

I remember the ambulance ride and then suddenly I was out of my body. I didn't need my body anymore. In fact, it looked sad, like an old purse or an old pair of jeans that was falling apart. I thought, 'How sad! It really did a great job for me!' I felt so sentimental - I hated to discard it, leaving it all torn to pieces like that.

It was all very real, more real than anything had ever been to me before, like I was supposed to be like that. I could see the paramedics, the driver, and my daughter from above them. I could feel all the emotions happening to my husband and my other children as they tried to gather themselves to get to where we were a hundred miles away. I couldn't see them, but I could feel what they were going through, and I felt bad that I had caused them to be so sad and upset. I was very aware of what was going on down on Earth.

Then I felt like I was flying fast into the light - it looked like light It was pure Love and Warmth which created the Light. It was like stepping outside of your dark house into a beautiful sunlit day. It shone down on me from Jesus. Jesus was creating this Light from his Pure Love. It was awesome, and with it shining on you, YOU became ALL KNOWING. This KNOWING was vast and more than I can ever explain. With it, knowledge still unfolds for me.

No pain, No animosity, total pure understanding of everything, everyone and every situation that had occurred in my whole life, as my life played before me. As it did, it seemed to pause at moments in my life that were due to illness and pain. Like when I had rheumatic fever as a child and how I hated the blood draws every day, but became very brave and learned all about blood. I was in labor six times and had an out-of-body experience during the birth of my son Bryan. Then I saw memories of having kidney stones and having my teeth pulled. Then on to my six-year-old son being hit by a car and having two broken legs, and a cranial bleed, and being in a comma. Then when my thirteen-year-old son had a football injury and had to have surgery, with pins sticking out the ends of his toes to keep his bones in place. And when my father-in-law was sick, and we had have his left leg amputated. Looking back on it now, it was like I was shown all the medical incidents that had happened in my life that I could now draw strength from, and had prepared me for this very day.

I was in the presence of Jesus. We seemed to be in a wide-open space, like a beautiful field or garden behind Jesus. I could see all my dead relatives there waiting for me like my father-In-law and my Grandpa Antonio and my Aunt Lillian and my Aunt Ruby and my Aunt Frances and my Great Aunt Stannie and my Uncle Bob. I recognized many more; I knew them all by their spirit, not by their bodies. They were all happy to see me and waiting for me until I was done talking to Jesus, it seemed like they were behind an unseen boundary. In front of me was Jesus and behind him was like a large archway, a gateway, and my dead relatives were there waiting for me. It seemed like I was with Jesus a very long time.

Jesus asked me if I was ready to be there. It felt so awesome to be there, it was so perfect, so home like, so much where I belonged I said, 'I guess I am okay.' It was a beautiful day to die. The Sun was perfect, a nice breeze, not too hot or cold, I had no unfinished business, I was mad at no one and couldn't think of anyone that was mad at me. I remember saying, 'I really have nothing that needs to be said to anyone. They should all know who I am, what I stand for and how I feel for all of them. [Meaning all my family and friends.]' Then I said, 'I thought I would be older when I would pass over. I seem young at fifty-one.' He asked something about was I the age of my Grandmother? I hadn't even realized that she died at fifty-one, before I was born. I said, 'I so much hate to leave my fifteen year old daughter Hannah. I love her so very much. I want to see her grow up, get married, and have children. And I love my husband Steve and all my adult children so very much. I want to go back to Earth, I have a Grandson to be born soon, whom I want to meet, and I still have X-Rays to shoot and Puppet Shows to perform so could I please go back?'

Jesus said I could go back, that I had work now to do. He told me to stay awake, and he would take care and restore everything. My departure seemed fast, like going down one of those grand slides, back into my broken body. As I approached my body, I was totally aware of the Devil and how he was going to fight with me, almost like he was mad, because he knows he doesn't scare me or impress me. I have no fear of Death. Death was easy, fighting to stay alive. However, it is very hard work, and the Devil would pop in over and over again, trying to derail me. I learned to put on my armor of God's Word every morning before I would start the day so I could continue to defeat the Devil at every turn.

I became so close to Jesus. He took care of everything, even the pain. I was not allowed anything for pain because my potassium levels were critical. The Emergency Room doctors would not let me go to the intensive care unit - they kept me for the night, about seventeen hours, until they could get my potassium levels up enough that I could go to surgery.

This all became very much like a 'Twilight Zone' episode in a Jesus way, if you can imagine. Jesus sent all the people that were sent to lay hands on me. It was awesome. Some of them, I knew their spirits - like, Jesus had shown them to me while I was at the gates of Heaven. I have so many wonderful stories that are part of this. It just keeps on going and going still. I could write many more pages of all that has happened since.
