Several times thought the next year late at night I could smell her but it was only for a minute or two but I knew she was visiting me! My father had three daylight visits where she would tell him everything would be Okay! She was fully clothed and looked completely normal when this happened. It shook him up because he truly thought once you died you were gone, till you meet again on the other side. I don't think she visited me in this manner for fear I would try to join her and I still had three kids to raise.
