``ANGELS'' AND ALABAMA FOR SUFFOLK GIRL

ILLUSTRATION: ASSOCIATED PRESS

Suffolk's Heather Harcum, 9, was in a coma for 12 days after a

November car accident. When her mother, Penny Harcum, left, played

``Angels Among Us,'' a song by Alabama, Heather came out of the

coma. The family met the band Sunday in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Lead

singer Randy Owen, right, performed ``Angels Among Us'' during a

sound check while Heather was on stage.
