Dacque
LaRose is a retired high school teacher from Canton, Ohio, who joined the
snowbird migration over ten years earlier, after the passing of his wife
Beverly. He landed in the small city of Anywhere, a popular winter watering
hole for retirees, he presumed originally, by sheer luck, but he now firmly
believes, that it was one of his earliest encounters with Divine Intervention.
To casual acquaintances, Dacque appears to be the proverbial, average, nice old
gentleman, but you cannot always tell the book by its cover. Average he is not.
About
a month after the sad passing of Beverly LaRose, strange events started
occurring in their older family home in Canton. At first, Dacque assumed the
unusual events were just his imagination running wild, due to his grief over
the loss of his beloved, but that misconception vanished quickly, and was
replaced by the belief that the soul, or spirit of Beverly was behind the
unusual events. He was right. The culmination of this series of events occurred
one evening, when Dacque was lounging peacefully in their living room reading a
book. He looked up and saw the spirit of Beverly sitting in her favorite chair,
smiling across the room at him. He will never forget what followed this
surprise visit. Seconds later, as clear as day, Beverly’s spirit said, ‘You
must stop grieving and get on with your life. I am fine. There is no more
pain.’ Beverly’s spirit then disappeared, and the unusual events ceased.
