A childhood belief about people

I used to believe that when I saw a brilliant beam of sun poking through the clouds, a person had just died and was going to heaven. I don't know how this belief started, but it was confirmed for me once: I saw one of these scenes while returning from a trip to my grandmother's house, and found out when we got home that our neighbor (whom we were close with) had died of cancer. Even now (age 25) when I see a sunbeam like this, I get a little nervous.
