  2. Yes and as Grandma became older and the dementia became worse, she became even tolerant of all faiths in Christ. I read her the Bible every evening for nine years. Even though she was deaf. She could not hear me but I showed her what I was reading and she would just try to listen threw the spirit. I did it even in the end days when she was already beyond response. God loved her. In her funeral I used the parable of the Farmer, and I referred to her as the good seed.

  3. You are so right. One doesn't know what they can really hear and meditate on when in a state such as dementia. Good for you Reg. You were a blessing to your grandma.

  4. Thanx Marg. you are so right. I really never knew if she was with me during those readings. but I do know at least there was always at some point that she did. few knew the Bible like her, so all I really needed to do was show her where I was, and she was okay with it.
