After leaving the hospital, Tina and Brian both hugged her rescuers and sobbed in their arms.

Whether what Tina saw was more than just her imagination, we’ll never know, however, according to Phoenix firefighters who helped resuscitate her, even her survival was nothing shy of a miracle. The firefighters shocked Tina three times at the initial scene, and two more times on the way to the hospital. “I’ve never shocked anyone five times,” he said.

Another rescuer said. “I was a witness to a miracle is the way I look at it.”

Tina’s message of faith has gotten the attention of many, including her own niece, Madie Johnson, who went so far as to get a tattoo of Tina’s written message.

“Her story is too real to share and has given me a stronger confidence in a faith that so often goes unseen,” Madie continued. “It has given me a tangibleness to an eternal hope that is not too far away.”
