I received a phone call from my sister Donna to inform me, Chris, a client she sent me who had lost her daughter just lost her brother. Donna told me the brother Claren a White Plains Firefighter had passed and she wanted to know if Chris’s daughter Erin was there to meet Her uncle when he passed.

I am very practical when it comes to this modality and told Donna, Erin was most likely there, the short answer, but I couldn’t say for sure as I rarely see that and couldn’t focus on it at that time.

The next morning, I woke to a beautiful image of Erin along with two firefighters greeting her uncle Claren as he crossed over, there was also what looked like hundreds of other firefighters behind her; an honor guard lining the way to Heaven for Claren. Suddenly both Erin and Claren with me. They began to give me some details about Claren. Claren told me he passed from a 911 illness and he always played with the kids when they were little. I had my doubts about the 911 illness because he was a White Plains firefighter but the souls don’t lie to me so I checked with Donna.

I called Donna to tell her what my vision was and what I was told. Donna wasn’t sure if any of that was true but what she knew of Claren Donna doubted either one of those was true. As we were talking the image of the firefighter came back to me very strongly. I told Donna to check to find out if any of what I heard was true.

A few days later Donna called me and confirmed that Claren was at the towers and he did pass from a 911 illness. Donna confirmed he did play with the kids when they were younger. With that validation, it also validated my vision as real. I had a strong feeling pushing me to recreate my vision as best I could.

I put out a call for models on Facebook and asked my nephew Brenden if he would do it. I also asked his father Rich if he would do it as well they both agreed. I received a call from a friend who saw it, Rich Carrol who connected me with Peter Campanelli who brought 3 others including his father who was NYFD and worked the towers that day to pose. Although a photograph could never be as beautiful as my vision this is as close as I could get.

I can’t thank those who stepped up to assist me to create this image enough, to let me in my own way to honor those who were there and paid the ultimate sacrifice or who were their selflessly risking it all to help others, everyone, believing in something, God Bless you all.

NEVER FORGET 911!
