"Mom left this world eight years ago. She was waiting for you to come, you know. She asked God if it was time, He said "Yes, that is fine." You've made your journey through the tunnel of light, so now you're safe from your long and painful flight. They met you at Heaven's Gate knowing now, it was God's fate. From this day on you'll be able to fly like all the birds in the sky. So go now and rest in peace. Your time on Earth has come to pass, your time with God has come at last!"
