Death and life after death

Is that what it comes down to? How we are with ourselves when we die, determines how we enter into death? Those who are at peace with themselves die at peace. Those who fear death and have conflict within themselves do not. They might see the Angel of Death but with a different facade: beautiful and shining, or dark and harsh.

I came across this little nugget while trying to find a search reference to the old phrase, pistol ball, such as "She's a real pistol ball." No one at work had ever heard it, but it's something my family might say. I on the other hand have never heard a phrase they use, to say that someone is a real pistol.
