Dying woman bids farewell before death at age 27
An eyewitness account describes a woman nearing death on a Wednesday evening in June. Surrounded by family and friends she declares, I am going. She expresses comfort in faith, prays, and recalls scripture as she fades, dying about 12:30 a.m. in her 28th year. Her final moments include a brief rekindling of sight and a whispered note of being far from a world of grief.
