Aid and Comfort from the Dead: Miners Leave Notes of Comfort to Families

There is word that some of the trapped West Virginia miners left behind messages to loved ones and to family members of other miners who had already perished.

Most of the notes describe the men as simply falling asleep, which will be a tremendous help to families who are struggling with visions of their loved ones suffering before they passed away.

They knew that they weren't going to make it, and instead of sucumbing to despair, they reached out to their loved ones with their final thoughts and actions.

That is a precious gift that will aid the families in their time of grief.
