PREDICTING DEATH

I HAD A FRATERNITY BROTHER WHO DIED A FEW YEARS AGO
FROM CANCER. THE NIGHT BEFORE HE DIED, HE WAS TOLD
THAT A PRIEST WOULD BRING HIM COMMUNION AT 6:30 THE
NEXT MORNING. HE REPLIED THAT 6:30 A.M. WOULD BE
TOO LATE, BECAUSE THE BLESSED VIRGIN TOLD HIM HE WOULD
DIE AT 5:30 A.M. THE NEXT MORNING, HE DIED AT 5:30 A.M.

Submitter comment: THE ABOVE IS HEARSAY. I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH
TRUTH IS CONTAINED IN IT.
