On a sunny spring morning in 2017, 23-year-old Hannah Simmons was driving her nine-month-old daughter, Alannah, to a routine doctor’s appointment in Gainesville, Georgia. Accompanied by her best friend, it was supposed to be an ordinary trip.
Tragically, the journey turned fatal when Hannah lost control of her car and collided head-on with a truck. The devastating crash claimed the lives of Hannah, her baby daughter, and her best friend instantly.
Hannah’s family was overwhelmed with grief, struggling to cope with the sudden loss. However, just days later, a photograph from the accident scene surfaced, offering them an unexpected sense of comfort and hope.
A man at the scene quickly called emergency services, but it soon became clear to him and the other witnesses that there was little they could do.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Anisa Gannon was on her way to work when she encountered the accident. With the road blocked, she decided to snap a photo to explain her delay to her boss. It wasn’t until later that Anisa noticed something extraordinary in the picture she had taken.
In the photo, a radiant beam of light seemed to stretch from the sky down to the very spot where the crash had occurred, where the young mother, her baby, and her friend lost their lives.
Struck by the image, Anisa felt compelled to share it with the victims’ family. When the relatives saw the beam of light, they were overcome with emotion, bursting into tears. Anisa’s aunt, Tara, also viewed the photo and remarked, “It looked like they were going to heaven.”
While skeptics argue the light could be a reflection from Anisa’s car windshield, the victims’ family has found solace in the image. To them, it’s a sign of hope and reassurance that Hannah, her baby Alannah, and her friend have found peace in heaven.
Hannah’s mother, Jodi Simmons, expressed her unwavering belief, saying the image was undeniably a “pathway to heaven.”
