Beautiful quilts and such a good cause. My Aunt had that for years. When I went to see her she never spoke. She didn't know her children. I always told my cousins that there mother was somewhere in her mind where she was happy and well and to always remember that. Whether or not it's true I believe that with all my heart. It is the only way to think when you watch a loved one go through that devastating disease.

I know what you mean--I saw Lorna a couple of times shortly before she died--and like your aunt she just sat there, but when I touched her hand and said "Hi Lorna, it's Gladie." I really felt a spark of recognition for a brief moment. Thanks for sharing your story.

That is a wonderful project...both my parents died with it. I guess my chances of getting it are double so I want the research and pray for a cure.
Your little quilts are great too! :thumbup:
