My experience began January 9, 1997 when Comair Commuter plane Flight 3272 was trying to fly into Detroit Metro Airport. It was near blizzard conditions and below 0. The conditions were too much for the plane carrying 29 people and crashed into a field near the small town of Ida Michigan, instantly killing all on board.

Dozens of rescue, fire, police and FAA personnel suffered silently and immensely as they sifted through the horribleness looking, with ever-fading hope, for a single survivor. The pain and anguish that they felt at the crash site was indescribable. Our prayers were with the victims and there families and also the rescue workers.

It was during this time when I was blessed with the presents of an angel sent from God, his name was Gabriel. (From the book, Angel Gabriel: A True Story) "It was during the night that I felt the presence of someone standing over me, watching me. I was afraid to open my eyes for fear of what I would see. I started saying The Lords Prayer...with my eyes closed, I saw the most beautiful face that I had ever seen. His eyes were as blue as the sky on a day full of sunshine with gold running through them. His hair was golden brown, with bright golden highlights just like his eyes. I realized my eyes were open and the feeling of love was overwhelming. So much in fact that I thought my chest and heart was going to explode. I was no longer scared." My life changed that night and will never be the same.
