Last year in March, a kid killed himself. He was in the choir and Top 25 (Broadway singing and dancing group). Several times, I have felt cold spots in the choir room, which has no windows(that open at least). Iam not the only one who has experienced this. Several classmates have reported similar experiences.

Whenever I am in times of trouble my mother appears to my best friend like this. My mother and I, although close had 'issues', and sometimes we were at odds. Since my mother died I have had several run-ins with her, the first was during a very turbulent time in my life. My best friend and I had been out of contact for a few weeks and one time during this horrible time I went through I recieved a call from her wanting to know what was wrong...I had not told her or anyone what I was going through, after discussing the situation this is what we concluded... After my mothers death I gave my friend some of my mothers robes which she wore often. On the evening of the call she had taken a shower and put on one of my mothers robes (which had been washed), she complained of a sickly sweet perfume smell she said closed her throat, after blaming her husband and son of spraying something and them denying it she saw a black tunnel of smoke roll up the wall and disappear into the ceiling. This happened several times that evening until she somehow made the connection and called me. After our discussion about this I brought a bottle of my mothers perfume to work and without telling my friend anything I opened it....she immediately yelled at me and told me that was the smell she had experienced that night. My mother has appeared in this manner several times to my friend...always in a time when I needed someone to lean on. I believe this is a manisfestation used to get attention or alert loved ones of something, a showing of fear or worry. My mother has come to me directly since then...twice, but when she felt my need was urgent or she was worried she would send Becky to me. I have spoken to my phycic about this and spoke to my mother since then..through spirtual guides and she only comes to me when I need her, even when I'm not intuned to her.
