“103 Years Old” Rev. Beatrice Lamonte Shares Inspiring Stories From Her Past
By Hazel K. Palmer and Colette Wilbrink For Jubilee News (Charleroi, PA) “Throughout my life, I had instances where I knew that it was no one else but God who saved my life.” Brad Diess from Charleroi, Pa said. “Three days before my 18th birthday, I was a passenger in a car that rolled. We were doing over 100 mph and we went over an embankment. It went on to its roof and hit a tree and I climbed out of the car with a sprained ankle.” Brad Diess ended up becoming a volunteer firefighter for ten years with the Charleroi VFD and he also worked in the coal mine.

swelling. Too bad the reservations were cancelled. But that afternoon, I got a call from a man who said that one portion of my trip had not been completely cancelled. I explained to him why I had cancelled the trip, and it slipped out how I wish I hadn’t cancelled because I could have gone after all. It was the return trip that hadn’t cancelled for some reason, and at this late stage, no refund was available. This man tried very hard for a long time to get an exchange for me, but it wasn’t possible. Then, he asked if he could arrange for me to go since the return trip was still paid for! Long story made short, he said he would call back within 20 minutes. I really could not see how anything could work out because I had secretly looked online in days previous and all possibilities were blocked and full. A I awaited his return call, I explained all of this to Katie, and her phone rang. It was a man named “Angel”. She passed her phone to me with a questioning look: “He wants to talk to you.” Oddly, it was a man from the travel place. He had tried calling me, but I had missed his call. But the funny thing is, I never gave anyone Katie’s number, even back in September! I do not know how on earth this person got Katie’s number! This man named “Angel” proceeded to give me information regarding my boarding, my seating with my kids, and that everything was all set to be sent to me in an email. It was amazing! This was a complete answer to a secret prayer and nothing short of a miracle! Editor’s Note: Alana Dishong had a second experience on her trip. See page 2A.
