In 2017, 23-year-old Hannah Simmons was driving her 9-month-old daughter, Alannah, to a checkup in Gainesville, Georgia. Her best friend was with them. But in a heartbreaking twist, Hannah lost control of the car and collided head-on with a truck. All three died instantly, leaving their families shattered.

As emergency crews responded, 19-year-old Anisa Gannon, stuck in traffic on her way to work, snapped a photo of the scene to show her boss why she’d be late. Later, while reviewing the photo, she noticed something unusual: a bright beam of light shining down onto the wrecked car.

Anisa shared the photo with the victims’ families. For them, it wasn’t just sunlight—it was a sign. Hannah’s mother, Jodi Simmons, saw it as a “pathway to heaven,” and Anisa’s aunt said it looked like “they were going to heaven.”

While skeptics say it was likely a reflection, for the grieving families, that light brought comfort—a gentle reminder that their loved ones might be at peace.

Sometimes, in our darkest moments, a small light can make all the difference.
