My desire is to inspire the elderly to know that their prayers are world changing.

 

In 2006 I was granted custody of my Aunt Mary who had been diagnosed with dementia. Although she was orphaned at 10 and had all the odds against her, she became a pioneer in field of computer science.

 

We had many wonderful times together until she passed away on Dec 3, 2013.

 

I asked some friends to join me in singing some old time gospel at the retirement home where Aunt Mary had lived. It was successful, and  began singing every Sunday. I had never sung before, but God gave me a nice singing voice.  He said "Do you think I'm going to put you in front of all these people and embarrass myself?"

 

I now sing, through my church, at two retirement homes.  It is wonderful to experience the dignity and wisdom of the residents. I imagine my aunt joyfully watching from heaven.
