9/11 Flight 93, Angel Legions - Lillie Leonardi
What Researchers Found
The Story
Lily Leonardi, an FBI community outreach specialist and former police chief, had a near-death experience during a medical crisis after a hysterectomy surgery. The surgery caused complications when doctors punctured her bladder twice, leading to infection and sepsis. She then had an allergic reaction to medication, causing her vascular system to collapse and severe swelling. During this emergency, Lily heard Archangel Michael warn her not to let staff touch her neck. She rose above her body and saw her deceased father, who appeared younger and illuminated in white light. He offered his hand and said her heart was weak from life's pains, inviting her to come with him. Lily refused, saying she wanted 10 more years by the beach with a nice man. Her father told her to get up and fight. She felt herself return to her body as treatment began to work, and he vanished peacefully. After the NDE, Lily embraced her lifelong intuitive gifts and spiritual connections, which helped her process later mystical experiences like seeing angels at the Flight 93 crash site on 9/11. She retired from law enforcement in 2010 to write books sharing her spiritual awakening and encounters with angels and the divine.
