Experience description: 

I fainted while reaching for a towel, and saw several rings of light the center ring had my fathers face in it & he was smiling, the outer ring had my older brother Tony in it in the lower left & he was happy to see me & was the same age as he was when he died, my upper left ring outside of Tonys' was someone else but I was concentrating on my Fathers' face who was smiling at me as if I was being silly & I felt a great amount of love & peace at the time & wanted to go with him.
