Inspiration From Above: My Son Guides Me From The Afterlife

Some lights shine forever… Mario’s love for his mother continues from the other side bringing, hope, inspiration, and faith to them in beautiful scenes of a colorful and musical heaven. Mario tragically lost his life, but his spirit lives on, and he comforts his mother and shows his presence plus gives her gifts of ‘sky art’ showing her the way to peace and assuring her that he lives on. “When I have visions of my son or Heaven, there are often things that go unsaid, yet there is an understanding of the lesson. What I got from this one is that we all have an obligation to help someone else find their light again.” Jacqueline Davieau
