My husband, my brother, Mike, and I were leaving the funeral home after making arrangements for her funeral. We were standing near our car about to get in when I saw a man making his way toward us through a crowd of people gathering for a service. He was waving his arm saying "Mam! Wait up! I believe you dropped something!" When he got to us he handed me my younger brother, Herbert's, driver's license. Herbert had been dead for over 10 years and I did Not carry his license. We stared at it stunned and Mike said, "Look at the time!!" And it was exactly 2:00. ❤❤❤
