Six years ago today at 5:30 pm, you transitioned and not easily, as my guardian angel and spiritual guide to navigate for me and those you loved you with protected adventures and beyond. Your divine life hereafter as an "Angel of God" and Roman Catholic tradition is great protection and comfort. I know you are here dear Bill Kolar.
