My mother and I were very close to my grandfather up until the day he died, December 15, 1989. My mother had a terrible time trying to get over it, but she knew in her heart that he was with her always. Thank the Lord, she was right.
In the summer of 1997, my mother was coming home from work in what used to be my grandfather's van. She thought she smelled something funny but she was unsure if it was the van that smelled that way or another car around her. About a mile down the road when she glanced in her rear view mirror she saw my grandfather in the back seat of the van. My mother heard him say to her, "Linda pull the van to the side of the road." She hesitated at first thinking she wasn't really seeing or hearing him but then pulled over.
When she pulled off to the side of the road she popped the hood of the van and the whole engine burst into flames when the air hit it. The fire rescue team said she was lucky she realized something was wrong. I believe she is lucky Papa was there. To this day we know he saved her life.
