There was not a hint of residue, no moisture, no frost, nothing. Cecilia desperately wanted to make the angel reappear. She duplicated the way she had been ironing, the temperature of the room, and ran steaming water into the bathtub, but, alas, her efforts were to no avail. Afterward, when parents of murdered children came to see me, I told them about the apparition and then showed them the pictures. They all felt the delicate tracery of a winged being was the spirit of their child, and were comforted.

Marc Klaas understands this better than most. The father of Polly, so cruelly abducted from her own home and murdered, writes of his encounter with an angel after his daughter was killed. His story, along with a picture of Polly, graces Celebrities And Their Angels. On one occasion after the manifestation I gave a luncheon on the top floor of a San Francisco skyscraper. I had brought framed photographs of the mysterious image to show my distinguished friends, even though I was aware I might be ridiculed.
