Lily Dale with my Daughter

When my daughter, Brandie, found that I had such a positive experience at Lily Dale, she wanted to visit there. So...this past Saturday we headed out in hopes of visiting with her grandparents on her father's side.

We arrived at 12:30pm and made it to the "Stump" by 1:00 pm for the first message service. None of our spirit family came through. At  2:30pm  we attended another message service at Forest Temple and again no personal messages.  On the walk back to the Stump, Brandie asks if she should be wearing her grandmother's necklace....where is it?...in the trunk of the car...What??!!  So we went to the car and Brandie put it on.  This necklace was Marion's (her grandmother), but it was Marion's mother Goldie's gold jewelery melted down to make the pendant.

My favorite medium, Joseph Shiell, was one of the five mediums giving readings.  And sure enough, a message came through for Brandie...and another woman at the same time. He started with "there is a woman here. She had a voice which was not typical of her generation. The name related to her is Marion." (This is great - grandma Goldie and Marion is her daughter. Goldie was a strong woman, who when in an abusive relationship left, and raised her children as a single mother in the 30's)

This other woman in the audience said she could take the name "Mary" (Mr. Shill never looked our way through the entire message.) The spirit kept adding more descriptives:
*The month of February is important. (Marion's passed over )
*Message is for someone with four children (Brandie has 4)
*One of these children is 2 years old (Hank)
*Connection to Rutland (Yes!)
The message is that she is around your house. Your 2 year old can see her and talks to her. That is why he stares off into space.

The other woman in the audience claimed the message changing Marion to Mary, Rutland to Roland, 4 to 3 children, but one child was a two year old. While the people sitting around us were upset that Brandie was ignored, Brandie was very calm saying, "I know the message was for me."

After Mr. Shiell left, the moderator told us that sometimes two spirits come through at the same time. We sat through more, until the last medium had her turn.  She was in the middle of a message to someone, when she stopped..."There is a woman here who insists that I say that "Goldie is here, and that message WAS from her. "!!! "

WOW!!
