Maddie a little girl of eight, l dreamed of helicopters
She drew three of them in pictures for her grandmother
Her grandma wondered about it, but kept them on her refrigerator
Maddie and her parents were in a car wreck on the freeway.
Maddie was airlifted out by a medivac helicopter.
Grandma heard the helicopter as it flew over her house.
She had a sad feeling and began to pray.
Maddie did not survive the wreck.
