I think a fundamental flaw to the story has been overlooked. According to the Jewish and Christian religions (and probably Islam too), people don't become angles when they die. Angels are something different. They are God's messengers and warriors. Regardles of what you may see in Family Circus, Grandma and Grandpa aren't issued a halo and new pair of wings when they die.

It has been argued by far more educated people than me that, unlike we human folk, angels do not have souls.

SO if I were to believe in angels, I'd still say this story is bullshit.

I would love to hear Lebell's take on this. Yo, Lebell, am I way off base on this one?
