“One thing I had never shared with anyone about my near death experience, but now I do is, my brother said to me, ‘see, Marcy, it’s real.’ And I knew he wasn’t talking about heaven. He was talking about our temple covenants and I knew it. I just knew that is what he was talking about! And I had not told anyone this. Then my mother was in the temple on a separate occasion, and she saw my brother and he said the same thing to her. ‘See, that it’s real.’ She told me this and I said, mom, that’s one of the things that he said to me. It made me realize I need to speak to that. I need to tell people this. He wasn’t talking about heaven. He wasn’t talking about the spirit world. He was talking about our temple covenants.”
