Holmes explained that she felt absolutely no fear when being taken to the afterlife.
She said: "There's no fear, it's like pure joy when the angels take over.
"I seen my mum, I seen my dad, I seen my sister, I seen family members standing behind."
Holmes continued: "I seen saints of old.
"They didn't look old, they didn't look sick, none of them wore glasses. They looked like they were in their 30s. Yet it says in the scriptures, 'We will be known as we were known'.
"I knew them there in their new bodies. They looked wonderful."
Her husband, Danny, recounted: "Immediately, they call this code and everybody started rushing in.
"They just started working on her and I thought well, I'm wondering if I'm even going to be able to bring her home."
Charlotte explained that she could see her own body as she was being operated on.
She continued: "I could smell the most beautiful flowers I've ever smelled, and then I heard music.
"When I opened my eyes, I knew where I was. I knew I was in heaven."
Charlotte was struck by how beautiful the scene was, adding: "I can't convey to you what heaven looked like, because it's so above what we can even imagine, a million times."
Holmes detailed meeting a toddler in heaven.
She said: "I can remember thinking, 'Who is this?' And I heard my heavenly father say to me, 'It's your child.'
"I lost that child. I was five-and-a-half months pregnant. I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, 'Charlotte, it's a boy'. Then he was gone. So when I seen this toddler, I said, 'God, how is that possible?'
"He said, 'They continue to grow in heaven - but there's no time, it's eternity'."
As per The Ozark County Times, Holmes sadly passed away in 2023 as a result of a heart attack, aged 72.
