Dear Barbara,
Perhaps this is the quote you are thinking of...
Sandra
"He should forgive the sinful, and never despise his low estate, for none
knoweth what his own end shall be. How often hath a sinner attained, at the
hour of death, to the essence of faith, and, quaffing the immortal draught,
hath taken his flight unto the Concourse on high! And how often hath a devout
believer, at the hour of his soul's ascension, been so changed as to fall into
the nethermost fire!"
Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh p. 263-268 - True Seeker

< I don't know where I picked it up, but I recall reading/hearing that at the
moment of death a person makes a choice to turn toward God or away from God. It
doesn't matter how they lived their life, at that moment a choice is made. So
someone who lived a life of service to the Faith can turn away from God, which
I take to mean regrets leaving this life, and someone who lead a very material
life can "see the light" and turn toward God at that moment. >
