I'm not sure if they see family or angels but I think they are greeted by someone. I had a friend in her 80s that about a year before she died started as she put it: "being visited by her departed family." She had never even dreamed of them before. I had read somewhere that sometimes people do start seeing ones who crossed over before they do themselves.

One of my Uncles was in the hospital after a heart attack. On the day he was to go home he had another one. The last one. The doctors said when he passed he had a big grin on his face. One of his daughter's told me later, he was still smiling when they got to see him.
