Diane and Carol had been friends for many years. They and their husbands had taken frequent vacations together, and shared a great many memories.

When Diane's husband died, Carol's husband had tried to do what he could to help her, making himself useful in many caring ways. Now, he had died also, and the funeral was tomorrow.

Carol's husband was in the room with her. She turned to see him standing beside her fully materialized. He was wearing a plaid Scottish cap which he had often worn during his life.

He said, "Diane, I have been there for you and the kids all these years. Now it's your turn to be there for Carol." His voice sounded exactly as it always had, and he appeared to be a normal physical being. But after he delivered his message, his image turned misty and he gradually disappeared.
