When Connie met Bill, an older man with congestive heart failure who lived in the middle of nowhere in Texas, he didn’t fit the profile of what she wanted in a husband. She would have never imagined that she’d fall in love with him, or that he’d end up becoming the greatest joy and inspiration she’d ever known. Or that God would use her relationship with him to teach her about His love, and what it means to love another sacrificially, through the extreme challenges of chronic and terminal illness. Even more, she would have never dreamed that God would use Bill’s passing and the trauma of his loss to take the fear of death from her, teach her about Eternal love, and show her-and all those who have ever lost a loved one-the beauty of Heaven and the glorious afterlife that awaits those who love and trust God.

Through Connie and a friend’s prayers, and a series of Heavenly visions and encounters with Bill, God revealed His love to Connie, the majesty and glory of Heaven, and the beauty and glory of a man, who, although he had left the Earth, still loved his beloved Connie more than ever.
