A Glimpse of Heavenly Bliss

Another Italian Renaissance painter, the noted Raphael, perhaps caught a glimpse of heaven as he said goodbye to this earth. Cardinal Bibbiena, a close friend of Raphael's who had subsidized the artist's work, reported to his niece that as Raphael neared the moment of death, he awoke, looked around, and asked, "Whence comes the sunshine?" And then, ignoring the friends gathered at his bedside, the artist said simply, "Happy...." With that, he died.

Another happy exit was seemingly enjoyed by inventor Thomas Edison. His last words, spoken to his wife as he emerged from a coma, were "It is very beautiful out there." Some believe he was speaking about the view outside his window; others acknowledge that he may have caught a glimpse of what lies beyond.
And in the modern age, Apple founder Steve Jobs, whose death of cancer at the age of 56 rocked Silicon Valley and the business world, seemed on his deathbed to gaze on a world of unimaginable bliss. Mona Simpson, novelist and college professor, was Jobs' sister. At his funeral, Simpson delivered a eulogy in which she described the scene at her brother's deathbed. According to the Telegraph,
She said Jobs looked at her, then his children, then his wife and then beyond them all, saying: "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."http://www.ncregister.com/blog/kschiffer/famous-last-words-of-famous-people

I've been lurking some, but I've also been working my arse off, plus a busy family life. There have been some topics of interest, but I haven't had the energy to engage... even at a snarky level.
