Hannah Simmons took her infant daughter to the doctor for a checkup in Gainesville, Georgia, on a lovely spring day in 2017.
Hannah’s car collided with a truck, turning the journey into a fatality.
The death devastated Hannah’s family. They were comforted and inspired, though, by a photo that was taken there a few days later.
The nine-month-old baby Alannah and Hannah Simmons, 23, and her best friend, went to the doctor.
On the way, Hanna abruptly lost control of her car, causing it to crash into a truck head-on. In an instant, her best friend, Hanna, and her nine-month-old daughter all vanished.
A man called emergency services on the scene, but he and the other witnesses realized there wasn’t much they could do.
19-year-old Anisa Gannon stopped at the collision scene on her way to work. To explain why she would be late to her employer, Anisa grabbed her phone and took a photo of the closed road. But Anisa didn’t see something in the picture when she took it; she didn’t see it until after.
An intense beam of light emerges from the sky in the image, illuminating the area of the car where the woman and her child died.
When Anisa showed the victim’s relatives the picture, and the light beam appeared, they burst into tears. Anisa’s aunt Tara observed the scene and said to her niece, “It looked like they were going to heaven.”
Despite skeptics who think it is a reflection from Anisa’s car’s windshield, the victims’ family has found comfort in the light and interpreted it as evidence that Hanna, her closest friend, and her nine-month-old daughter have entered heaven.
Hanna’s mother, Jodi Simmons, asserted that she “absolutely” believed the arresting illustration showed a “pathway to heaven.”
Knowing they are in a better place is the only thing that can bring comfort and peace when you lose someone you love. Let others know about this uplifting story so they can discover inspiration.
