He checked the camera and told me no one was there. You promised me you were coming to spend time with me after the Grammys. I believe the spirits allowed you to come after all.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever had a \u201cpennies from heaven\u201d moment, you understand the sense of peace Cissy felt when Whitney visited from beyond. With God\u2019s graces so abundant in life, is it any surprise that He shows generosity in the afterlife?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to think that heaven is not a gated community.
